How do I find a stored procedure containing ?

Question

I need to search a SQL server 2008 for stored procedures containing where maybe the name of a database field or variable name.

Answer 1

I tried above example but it was not showing more than 4000 characters then I modified it little bit and was able to get whole stored procedure definition. Please see the updated script below -

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME(O.SCHEMA_ID) [SCHEMA_NAME], O.NAME, OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) 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  OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) LIKE '%FOO%'
ORDER BY  SCHEMA_NAME(O.SCHEMA_ID), O.NAME
