My solution to this exact problem, if one could call anything that when they're introduced to "query", is make a database of all "CREATE PROCESS X" TSQL that they write. Now that I think of it, a TABLE in a database (ntext or nvarchar converted to XML single liners) will suffice. And then do the searching there.

hi,

Check this query,

select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES where ROUTINE_NAME like 'sp%'

Hi,

Check the following Code

SQL

SELECT DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME(C.ID) 
FROM syscomments C
INNER JOIN FROM sys.procedures P ON P.Name=OBJECT_NAME(C.ID)
WHERE C.Text LIKE '%Search_String%'
AND P.type = 'P'

You need to add WHERE condition to find out only stored procedures as mentioned in the requirement.
