问题
Is there a way to get the statement that created a view for an existing view in SQL Server 2008? I thought there was a stored procedure or some metadata that had this data, but I'm not finding anything.
回答1:
Have you had a look at sp_helptext?
sp_helptext 'dbo.name_of_view'
SQL SERVER – Stored Procedure to display code (text) of Stored Procedure, Trigger, View or Object
回答2:
Right click on the view and script it.
回答3:
It's in sys.sql_modules. Other schema tables like INFORMATION_SCHEMA ones only contain the first 4000 characters of the definition (they truncate).
回答4:
Right click on the View name, then left click "SCRIPT VIEW as", then left click "ALTER TO", then left click "NEW QUERY EDITOR WINDOW" -- bingo, your there! To print, click on the script screen and then send to your printer using your toolbar printer icon or click on FILE>>PRINT. Of course, be careful to exit without making any changes. This works the same for stored procedures.
回答5:
You can see the script as code, and copy paste it into an editor like this:
SELECT
v.TABLE_NAME,
v.VIEW_DEFINITION
FROM
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS v
WHERE
v.TABLE_NAME LIKE '%%'
and insert the view name you want.

In case it helps someone in the future, here's a little script I put together to output the creation script for all views in a database.
DECLARE @definition varchar(max)
DECLARE @view CURSOR
SET @view = CURSOR FOR
SELECT m.definition FROM sys.views v INNER JOIN sys.sql_modules m ON m.object_id = v.object_id
OPEN @view
FETCH NEXT FROM @view INTO @definition
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN
PRINT @definition
PRINT 'GO'
FETCH NEXT FROM @view INTO @definition
END CLOSE @view DEALLOCATE @view
