SELECT s.name + '.' + o.name ProcedureName
, c.text ProcedureSteps
FROM   sys.syscomments c 
INNER JOIN
sys.objects o 
ON 
c.id = o.object_id
INNER JOIN
sys.schemas s 
ON 
o.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE  o.type = 'P'
AND c.text LIKE N'%XXXX%'
ORDER BY s.name + '.' + o.name
, c.colid

该查询返回在存储过程中引用“XXXX”的任何存储过程的名称和内容。

这在查找引用特定表/视图/过程的过程时非常有用

SELECT ROUTINE_NAME, ROUTINE_DEFINITION 
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES 
WHERE ROUTINE_DEFINITION LIKE '%FieldName%' 
AND ROUTINE_TYPE='PROCEDURE'

如果你也需要schema:

SELECT   DISTINCT SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id),o.name,[text]
FROM     syscomments AS c
         INNER JOIN sys.objects AS o ON c.id = o.[object_id]
         INNER JOIN sys.schemas AS s ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
WHERE    text LIKE '%foo%'
ORDER BY  SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id),o.name 

create Procedure [dbo].[TextFinder]
(@Text varchar(500),@Type varchar(2)=NULL) 
AS
BEGIN



SELECT DISTINCT o.name AS ObjectName,
CASE o.xtype

WHEN 'C' THEN 'CHECK constraint'

WHEN 'D' THEN 'Default or DEFAULT constraint'

WHEN 'F' THEN 'FOREIGN KEY constraint'

WHEN 'FN' THEN 'Scalar function'

WHEN 'IF' THEN 'In-lined table-function'

WHEN 'K' THEN 'PRIMARY KEY or UNIQUE constraint'

WHEN 'L' THEN 'Log'

WHEN 'P' THEN 'Stored procedure'

WHEN 'R' THEN 'Rule'

WHEN 'RF' THEN 'Replication filter stored procedure'

WHEN 'S' THEN 'System table'

WHEN 'TF' THEN 'Table function'

WHEN 'TR' THEN 'Trigger'`enter code here`

WHEN 'U' THEN 'User table'

WHEN 'V' THEN 'View'

WHEN 'X' THEN 'Extended stored procedure'

ELSE o.xtype

END AS ObjectType,

ISNULL( p.Name, '[db]') AS Location

FROM syscomments c

INNER JOIN sysobjects o ON c.id=o.id

LEFT JOIN sysobjects p ON o.Parent_obj=p.id

WHERE c.text LIKE '%' + @Text + '%' and

o.xtype = case when @Type IS NULL then o.xtype  else @Type end

ORDER BY Location, ObjectName

END

如何找到一个包含文本或字符串的存储过程

很多时候，我们需要在存储过程中查找文本或字符串。下面是查找包含文本的查询。

SELECT OBJECT_NAME(id) 
FROM SYSCOMMENTS 
WHERE [text] LIKE '%Text%' 
AND OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsProcedure') = 1 
GROUP BY OBJECT_NAME(id)

对于任何更新于SQL server 2000的SQL server:

SELECT object_name = OBJECT_NAME(sm.object_id), o.type_desc, sm.definition  
FROM sys.sql_modules AS sm  
JOIN sys.objects AS o ON sm.object_id = o.object_id  
WHERE sm.definition like '%searchString%'  
ORDER BY  o.type, o.name, o.object_id

如果有人被SQL server 2000卡住，表sql_modules不存在，所以你会使用syscomments，你会得到多个存储过程的记录大于4000个字符，但它们会有相同的c.number字段，所以你可以把这些部分组合在一起，以获得完整的存储过程文本:

    Select o.id, c.number, o.name, c.text  
    from syscomments c 
    inner join sysobjects o on o.id = c.id 
    where c.encrypted = 0 and o.type = 'P'  
      and c.id in  
     (Select id from syscomments where text like '%searchtext%')
    order by objecttype, o.name, o.id, c.number, c.colid
