Hi All,

I have a SQL Server 2017 Standard Edition. I am trying to script all the stored procedures for one particular database. But i am getting error. I am trying to do as a separate file for each procedure. Please help whether i need to verify any server settings.

I am able to script users/views etc. But i am not able to script stored procedures. I have around 90000 stored procedures in this database. Assuming the number of procedures may be a problem, I selected 2-3 procedures and tried. But it failed even when i select 2-3 procedures also.

Thanks in Advance

It's SSMS that is running out of memory. You need to restart SSMS when you get the error and then try with a smaller set. You may also want to try another version of SSMS as it can be worse on some versions of SSMS. There were bugs filed in connect about the issues. It was supposed to have been fixed.They never listed what version though, just marked it as "completed January 2018".

try using the wizard in SSMS, connect to Server, RMC on database, select Tasks, select generate scripts

***The first step is always the hardest *******

Assuming that you are doing this from a laptop or desktop system, not the server, you may have to restart the system you are using to run SSMS.
