This script will send the contents of all the Stored Procedures, Functions, and Triggers in a database to a text file. In fact, it will send any object that can be found in SELECT * FROM SYSOBJECTS
Why is that useful? For me, it's indispensible. The Dynamics GP database (Microsoft's accounting package) that I work in has north of 34000 objects. If I change something, or need to know where a reference is, or the boss wants to know what stored procedure is deleting the sales orders every night, I have to play hide-and-go-seek through all the scripts.
What if someone proposes changing the name of a database field? Having the text of all my object in one file enables me to find all occurances of a field name in any of my scripts. Woo-Ha! Now I know the name of the stored proc or trigger that I have to change.
In the past I would just right click on the server name in Enterprise Manager, and choose 'Generate Scripts'. That gave me exactly what I needed, but in a database this size it took almost an hour. This script runs in about a minute.
Additionally, it gives me a history. If I run this periodically, I am able to search past versions quickly and see what I changed.
I'm not going to go into detail about how it works, but I'd be happy to if anyone shows an interest. Just drop me a line.
