我经常使用这个脚本来确定要修改哪个procs，或者确定使用表中的某一列，或者删除一些旧的垃圾。它检查由sp_msforeachdb提供的运行实例上的每个数据库。

if object_id('tempdb..##nothing') is not null
    drop table ##nothing

CREATE TABLE ##nothing
(
    DatabaseName varchar(30),
    SchemaName varchar(30),
    ObjectName varchar(100),
    ObjectType varchar(50)
)

EXEC master.sys.sp_msforeachdb 
'USE ?
insert into ##nothing
SELECT 
db_name() AS [Database],
[Scehma]=schema_name(o.schema_id), 
o.Name, 
o.type 
FROM sys.sql_modules m
INNER JOIN sys.objects o
    ON o.object_id = m.object_id
WHERE 
    m.definition like ''%SOME_TEXT%'''  
--edit this text

SELECT * FROM ##nothing n
order by OBJECTname 

请把这作为一个“肮脏”的替代方案，但这挽救了我的落后很多次，特别是当我不熟悉DB项目。有时，你试图在所有sp中搜索一个字符串，却忘记了一些相关的逻辑可能隐藏在函数和触发器之间，或者它可能只是措辞与你想象的不同。

从您的MSSMS中，您可以右键单击您的DB并选择 生成脚本向导，将所有sp, Fns和触发器输出到单个.sql文件。

确保也选择了触发器!

然后只需使用Sublime或Notepad来搜索你需要找到的字符串。我知道这可能是非常低效和偏执的方法，但它有效:)

你有没有试过使用一些第三方工具来进行搜索?有几个可用的免费软件，在过去为我节省了大量的时间。

下面是我成功使用的两个SSMS插件。

ApexSQL搜索-搜索数据库中的模式和数据，并具有额外的功能，如依赖跟踪和更多…

SSMS工具包-具有与前一个相同的搜索功能和其他一些很酷的功能。不是免费的SQL Server 2012，但仍然非常实惠。

我知道这个答案不是100%与问题相关(更具体)，但希望其他人会发现这个有用。

转义方括号:

...
WHERE m.definition Like '%\[ABD\]%' ESCAPE '\'

那么方括号将被视为字符串字面量，而不是通配符。

使用CHARINDEX:

SELECT DISTINCT o.name AS Object_Name,o.type_desc
FROM sys.sql_modules m 
INNER JOIN sys.objects  o 
ON m.object_id=o.object_id
WHERE CHARINDEX('[ABD]',m.definition) >0 ;

使用PATINDEX:

SELECT DISTINCT o.name AS Object_Name,o.type_desc
FROM sys.sql_modules m 
INNER JOIN sys.objects  o 
ON m.object_id=o.object_id
WHERE PATINDEX('[[]ABD]',m.definition) >0 ; 

使用double [[]ABD]类似于转义:

WHERE m.definition LIKE '%[[]ABD]%'
