Find out the calling stored procedure in SQL Server

Question

Is it possible to find out who called a store procedure?

For example, say I get an error in proc3. From within that proc I want to know if it was calle

Answer 1

Do you need to know in proc3 at runtime which caused the error, or do you just need to know while debugging?

You can use SQL Server profiler if you only need to do it during debugging/monitoring.

Otherwise in 2005 I don't believe you have the ability to stack trace.

To work around it you could add and extra parameter to proc3, @CallingProc or something like that.

OR you could add try catch blocks to proc1 and proc2.

BEGIN TRY
EXEC Proc3
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT 'Error Caught'
SELECT
    ERROR_PROCEDURE()
END CATCH

SQL Server 2008 does have the ability to debug through procedures however.
