Problem: Suppose we have a stored procedure which has been used in several stored procedure, I mean stored procedure usp_proc1 is nested in many stored procedures like below
BEGIN DECLARE@ResultTABLE ( IDINT, NAMEVARCHAR(50), [ADDRESS]VARCHAR(255) ) INSERTINTO@Result EXECusp_proc1@Name='codefari' END |
So I want to find all those queries who containing usp_proc1
Solution: There is a lot of solutions, I'm giving some of them below.

If you want to get the only name of the stored procedures then use the following query. Using join query on system tables syscomments and sysobjects we can get the stored procedures name which containing the particular table, nested procs or any other string.
SELECTDISTINCTo.name FROMsyscommentss INNERJOINsysobjectsoONs.id=o.id WHEREs.TEXTLIKE'%text for search%' |
If you want to get stored procedures and its type then run the following query.
SELECTDISTINCTo.name,o.xtype FROMsyscommentsc INNERJOINsysobjectsoONc.id=o.id WHEREc.TEXTLIKE'%text for search%' |
We can get the expected result using the following query also, in this query I used only sys.objects table to get the appropriate result. The following query will return sp_name, schema_name, type, and type_desc.
SELECTschema_name(o.schema_id)AS[schema_name], NAMEASsp_name ,type ,o.type_desc FROMsys.objectso WHEREo.is_ms_shipped= 0 ANDOBJECT_DEFINITION(object_id)Like'%text for search%' ANDtype='p'ORDERBYo.NAME |
We can get the appropriate result using table sysdepends and sysobjects see the following query. It will return all those records of stored procedures and its dependent stored procedures. If you want to apply a filter then un-comment the AND condition.
SELECTo.namesp_name,dpt.namenested_spname FROMsysdependsd INNERJOINsysobjectsoond.id=o.id INNERJOINsysobjectsdptond.depid=dpt.id WHEREo.xtype='P'ANDdpt.xtype='P' --AND dpt.name like '%text for search%' |
Using system procedure sp_depends we can get the all expected records, see the following query.
EXECsp_depends@objname=N'proc name'; |
