Obtain contents of stored procedures

Hi all,

I need to be able to obtain the full contents, i.e. sql statements
inside, of all procedures in SQl Server 2000. I am using MS type 4
JDBC driver. I know that from the database metadata, I could get the
names of all stored procedures and their column structures. However,
I did not find any thing that will help me to obtain contents of the
stored procedures. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

For a single stored procedure you can use:

EXEC sp_helptext 'sp'

The code is stored in the text column of a system table called syscomments.
You can query this table directly (though not always recommended) or you can
use INFORMATION_SCH EMA.ROUTINES view. See SQL Server Books Online for more
details.

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if it's possible to search for stored procedures by their contents? I tend to leave very descriptive notes in stored procedures and they're beginning to build up in number, so I'm wondering if it's possible to search in Query Analyzer for stored procedures that contain certain words / phrases etc.

I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 stored procedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have different syntax? The concept should be the same that the stored procedures execute in the database server with better performance? Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also. thanks!!

I've looked at some of the help on stored procedures in A2003, but really don't understand what's going on. Can someone...

The purpose for my questions is accessing these technologies from applications. I develop both applications and databases. Working with Microsoft C#.NET and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Production and 2005 Test Environments. What is the purpose of a view if I can just copy the vode from a view and put it into a stored procedure? Should I be accessing views from stored procedures?

I am trying to get a SQL stored procedure to use user maintained MQT implicitly which raises questions on when they are used or not used. In theory you would expect the stored procedure to pick up the MQT at the time it is bound on the creation of the static SQL. This raises the question on how you stop it or start it using a MQT as there is no option on the bind. What happens when it is rebound? What happens if the plan is made invalid...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
