Hi All,
We are developing a new stored procedure with using some standard. one of them is 'ALL KEYWORDS SHOULD BE IN UPPER CASE'. Just we are following this standard while writing new procedures.
We have around 700 stored procedure in the database. since auditing is coming now, my manager asked me to cross check each procedure to ensure whether the procedure follow the above standard or not.
is there any automated way to do this?
what i planned was, splitting all the procedure lines as each row. say for example, if any procedure contains 500 rows then it should be splitted into 500 rows. How to do it?
sample:
create procedure p1
(
@eno int
)
as
BEGIN
select eno,ename
FROM emp
Where eno = @eno
End
i need to insert this one into a table like as below
create table proc_cntent_line
(
SNo int,
Text varchar(500)
)
go
1 create procedure p1
2 (
3 @eno int
4 )
5 as
6 BEGIN
7 select eno,ename
8 FROM emp
9 Where eno = @eno
10 End
Inputs are welcome!

Hi... my rough and tough idea... sorry if it seems clumsy

Script out a certain number of procedures into SSMS and do a find and replace.

Here's a quick and dirty method for getting the content of a single sproc into a table, line by line:

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#ProcedureLines') IS NOT NULL

DROP TABLE #ProcedureLines

CREATE TABLE #ProcedureLines (RowID INT identity(1,1), SprocLine VARCHAR(500))

INSERT INTO #ProcedureLines (SprocLine)

EXEC dbo.sp_helptext 'MySproc'

SELECT * FROM #ProcedureLines
