How do you know what procedures are cached in SQL Server? Simple, just ask, and SQL Server will tell you.You can query the SQL Server dynamic management views to get a list of procedures in cache. In this example, I query sys.dm_exec_cached_plans and sys.dm_exec_sql_text:
Select object_name(st.objectid, st.dbid) As ProcedureNameFrom sys.dm_exec_cached_plans cpCross Apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(cp.plan_handle) stWhere cp.objtype = 'Proc'And st.dbid = db_id();
The following scripts can be downloaded as text files. You will need to change the file extension to .ps1 in order to execute them. Backup a database Restore a database Scan a server to find a free port Query DNS to get the FQDN of a server
To see some examples of my other forms of writing, please visit my page on WritersCafe.org. It is almost exclusively horror fiction, but I sometimes throw other things in there too from time to time. There's one science fiction story, a couple of poems, and quite a few humor pieces as well.
