• Thank you to everyone for the great comments on additional methods to obtain the same data; and especially to those that have methods that could improve on the speed of obtaining this data!

    Lenny Garza, you are correct that the definitions are stored within SQL Server 2005 sys.sql_modules view; I had intended for that line to imply that the 'how' to use these SPs still may require BOL to understand their usages. I'm actually already working on an article that touches upon this subject. Thank you for pointing out the confusion of that sentence.

    Thank you,

    James Rea
