SELECT name , type_desc , create_date , modify_date
FROM   sys.procedures 
WHERE  Object_definition(object_id) LIKE '%High%'

我通常执行以下命令来实现这一目标:

select distinct object_name(id) 
from syscomments 
where text like '%[ABD]%'
order by object_name(id) 

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 m.definition Like '%[String]%';

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。

/* 
    SEARCH SPROCS & VIEWS

    The following query will allow search within the definitions 
    of stored procedures and views.

    It spits out the results as XML, with the full definitions, 
    so you can browse them without having to script them individually.

不同的版本，使查询更适合不同的编码实践。
