Query to list all stored procedures

Question

What query can return the names of all the stored procedures in a SQL Server database

If the query could exclude system stored procedures, that would be even more he

Answer 1

Select list of stored procedure in SQL server. Refer here for more: https://coderrooms.blogspot.com/2017/06/select-list-of-stored-procedure-in-sql.html

Answer 2

I've tweaked LostCajun's excellent post above to exclude system stored procedures. I also removed "Extract." from the code because I couldn't figure out what it's for and it gave me errors. The "fetch next" statement inside the loop also needed an "into" clause.

use <<databasename>>
go

declare @aQuery nvarchar(1024);
declare @spName nvarchar(64);
declare allSP cursor for
    select p.name  
    from sys.procedures p 
    where p.type_desc = 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE' 
    and LEFT(p.name,3) NOT IN ('sp_','xp_','ms_')
    order by p.name;
open allSP;
fetch next from allSP into @spName;
while (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
begin
    set @aQuery = 'sp_helptext [' + @spName + ']';
    exec sp_executesql @aQuery;
    fetch next from allSP into @spName;
end;
close allSP;
deallocate allSP;

Answer 3

Just the names:

SELECT SPECIFIC_NAME  
FROM YOUR_DB_NAME.information_schema.routines  
WHERE routine_type = 'PROCEDURE'

Answer 4

I wrote this simple tsql to list the text of all stored procedures. Be sure to substitute your database name in field.

use << database name >>
go

declare @aQuery nvarchar(1024);
declare @spName nvarchar(64);
declare allSP cursor for
select p.name  from sys.procedures p where p.type_desc = 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE' order by p.name;
open allSP;
fetch next from allSP into @spName;
while (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
begin
    set @aQuery = 'sp_helptext [Extract.' + @spName + ']';
    exec sp_executesql @aQuery;
    fetch next from allSP;
end;
close allSP;
deallocate allSP;

You can use one of the below queries to find the list of Stored Procedures in one database :

Query1 :

    SELECT 
        *
    FROM sys.procedures;

Query2 :

    SELECT 
        * 
    FROM information_schema.routines 
    WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' 

If you want to find the list of all SPs in all Databases you can use the below query :

    CREATE TABLE #ListOfSPs 
    (
        DBName varchar(100), 
        [OBJECT_ID] INT,
        SPName varchar(100)
    )

    EXEC sp_msforeachdb 'USE [?]; INSERT INTO #ListOfSPs Select ''?'', Object_Id, Name FROM sys.procedures'

    SELECT 
        * 
    FROM #ListOfSPs

the best way to get objects is use sys.sql_modules. you can find every thing that you want from this table and join this table with other table to get more information by object_id

SELECT o. object_id,o.name AS name,o.type_desc,m.definition,schemas.name scheamaName
FROM sys.sql_modules        m 
    INNER JOIN sys.objects  o ON m.object_id=o.OBJECT_ID
    INNER JOIN sys.schemas ON schemas.schema_id = o.schema_id
    WHERE [TYPE]='p'
