I have a list of stored procedures. How do I view the stored procedure code?

Answer 1

You can view all the objects code stored in the database with this query:

    USE [test] --Database Name
SELECT
    sch.name+'.'+ob.name AS       [Object], 
    ob.create_date, 
    ob.modify_date, 
    ob.type_desc, 
    mod.definition
FROM 
     sys.objects AS ob
     LEFT JOIN sys.schemas AS sch ON
            sch.schema_id = ob.schema_id
     LEFT JOIN sys.sql_modules AS mod ON
            mod.object_id = ob.object_id
WHERE mod.definition IS NOT NULL --Selects only objects with the definition (code)
