Search Text Used in Store Procedure, Functions or Views in a Database

To search a specific text in all store procedures and functions is common task. It can be achieved by following simple query.



SELECT sys.schemas.name +'.'+OBJECT_NAME(id)

FROM syscomments INNER JOIN sys.objects ON syscomments.id = sys.objects.object_id

INNER JOIN sys.schemas ON sys.objects.schema_id = sys.schemas.schema_id

WHERE [text] LIKE N'%YOUR TEXT HERE%'

AND (OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsProcedure') = 1

      OR OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsScalarFunction') = 1

      OR OBJECTPROPERTY(id, 'IsView') = 1)

GROUP BY sys.schemas.name +'.'+OBJECT_NAME(id)
