如何在 SQLServerManagementStudio 中查看存储过程代码

我是 SQLServer 的新手。我是通过 SQLServerManagementStudio 登录到我的数据库的。

我有一个存储过程列表。如何查看存储过程代码?

右键单击存储过程没有任何类似于 view contents of stored procedure的选项。

谢谢。

Right click on the stored procedure and select Script Stored Procedure as | CREATE To | New Query Editor Window / Clipboard / File.

You can also do Modify when you right click on the stored procedure.

For multiple procedures at once, click on the Stored Procedures folder, hit F7 to open the Object Explorer Details pane, hold Ctrl and click to select all the ones that you want, and then right click and select Script Stored Procedure as | CREATE To.

The option is called Modify:

enter image description here

This will show you the T-SQL code for your stored procedure in a new query window, with an ALTER PROCEDURE ... lead-in, so you can easily change or amend your procedure and update it

In case you don't have permission to 'Modify', you can install a free tool called "SQL Search" (by Redgate). I use it to search for keywords that I know will be in the SP and it returns a preview of the SP code with the keywords highlighted.

Ingenious! I then copy this code into my own SP.

I guess this is a better way to view a stored procedure's code:

sp_helptext <name of your sp>

Use this query:

SELECT object_definition(object_id) AS [Proc Definition]
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type='P'

This is another way of viewing definition of stored procedure

SELECT OBJECT_DEFINITION (OBJECT_ID(N'Your_SP'))

exec sp_helptext 'your_sp_name' -- don't forget the quotes

In management studio by default results come in grid view. If you would like to see it in text view go to:

Query --> Results to --> Results to Text

or CTRL + T and then Execute.

The other answers that recommend using the object explorer and scripting the stored procedure to a new query editor window and the other queries are solid options.

I personally like using the below query to retrieve the stored procedure definition/code in a single row (I'm using Microsoft SQL Server 2014, but looks like this should work with SQL Server 2008 and up)

SELECT definition
FROM sys.sql_modules
WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID('yourSchemaName.yourStoredProcedureName')

More info on sys.sql_modules:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-sql-modules-transact-sql

You can view all the objects code stored in the database with this query:

    USE [test] --Database Name
SELECT
sch.name+'.'+ob.name AS       [Object],
ob.create_date,
ob.modify_date,
ob.type_desc,
mod.definition
FROM
sys.objects AS ob
LEFT JOIN sys.schemas AS sch ON
sch.schema_id = ob.schema_id
LEFT JOIN sys.sql_modules AS mod ON
mod.object_id = ob.object_id
WHERE mod.definition IS NOT NULL --Selects only objects with the definition (code)

This is the better way :

SELECT object_definition(object_id)
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type='p' and name='SP_Name'
