Query to list all stored procedures

Question

What query can return the names of all the stored procedures in a SQL Server database

If the query could exclude system stored procedures, that would be even more he

Answer 1

I've tweaked LostCajun's excellent post above to exclude system stored procedures. I also removed "Extract." from the code because I couldn't figure out what it's for and it gave me errors. The "fetch next" statement inside the loop also needed an "into" clause.

use <>
go

declare @aQuery nvarchar(1024);
declare @spName nvarchar(64);
declare allSP cursor for
    select p.name  
    from sys.procedures p 
    where p.type_desc = 'SQL_STORED_PROCEDURE' 
    and LEFT(p.name,3) NOT IN ('sp_','xp_','ms_')
    order by p.name;
open allSP;
fetch next from allSP into @spName;
while (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
begin
    set @aQuery = 'sp_helptext [' + @spName + ']';
    exec sp_executesql @aQuery;
    fetch next from allSP into @spName;
end;
close allSP;
deallocate allSP;
