select objs.name,* from sys.objects objs
INNER JOIN sys.sql_modules mods on
objs.object_id = mods.object_id
where objs.type = ‘P’
and definition like ‘%your_search_string_here%’

In this case i have your_search_string_here = %
I need those strings which contain the % as string….
example it should give me all the strings like
‘abcd % abcd’,ad%sd’ etc…….

Thanks, just what I wanted.

In case you have tables which start with the same name:

SELECT Name
FROM sys.procedures
WHERE OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) LIKE ‘%Employee%’
AND NOT OBJECT_DEFINITION(OBJECT_ID) LIKE ‘%EmployeeDetails%’

If you need a sp_depends alternative (sp_depends does not always work), here’s a crude script. I am selecting all columns but you can trip down as per your needs. This will basically search for a string in an object which is type P, RF, V, TR, FN, IF, TF, and R:

——-
select objs.name,* from sys.objects objs
INNER JOIN sys.sql_modules mods on
objs.object_id = mods.object_id
where objs.type = ‘P’
and definition like ‘%your_search_string_here%’
——-

Useful to see which object is referenced by which other object.

Thanks, this works very well. What I would have like is to see is sort of the line numbers associated with the objects, and perhaps a replace script as well. Any pointers would be welcome.
