How to view the stored procedure code in SQL Server Management Studio

Question

I am new to SQL Server. I am logged into my database through SQL Server Management Studio.

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

Answer 1

This is another way of viewing definition of stored procedure

SELECT OBJECT_DEFINITION (OBJECT_ID(N'Your_SP'))

Answer 2

The option is called Modify:

This will show you the T-SQL code for your stored procedure in a new query window, with an ALTER PROCEDURE ... lead-in, so you can easily change or amend your procedure and update it

Answer 3

I guess this is a better way to view a stored procedure's code:

sp_helptext <name of your sp>
