Finding BINN directory for Multiple Instances

I am writing an installer that needs to put a dll file with a bunch of
extended stored procedures in the BINN directory. The problem is that
if the machine is running multiple instances of SQL Server, there is
more than one BINN directory. The installer has a dynamically
populated dropdown with the name of the instances, so does anyone know
if this logic is correct and/or reliable assuming SQL Server 2000?

If the instance name = "MSSQLSERVER"
then path to BINN directory = registry value of
HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\Setup\SQLPath + "\BINN"

If the instance name != "MSSQLSERVER"
then path to BINN directory = registry value of HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
SQL Server\<Instance Name>\Setup\SQLPath + "\BINN"

Thanks in advance for any help."Bruce" <sandell@.pacbell.net> wrote in message

Finding all "DEFAULT" constraints on a table using Information_Sch

I have a couple stored procedures in which I am trying to determine all of
the "Default" constraints that are on a given table. I know that this
information is available in the sysobjects table, but I'm trying to avoid
directly querying the system tables whenever possible in favor of using the
Information Schema views. My problem is that the Table_Constraints view
appears to show only CHECK, FOREIGN KEY, PRIMARY KEY, and UNIQUE constraints
.
Is there any other Information Schema view that I can use to see the DEFAULT
constraints?information_schema.columns. Will have the default values.
Hope this helps.|||Try using system table sysconstraints.
Example:
use northwind
go
select
object_name([id]) as table_name,
object_name(constid) as constraint_name,
col_name([id], colid) as column_name
from
sysconstraints
where
[id] = object_id('dbo.orders')
and objectproperty(constid, 'IsDefaultCnst') = 1
go

Find which SPs have quoted_identifier set wrong

Our client's application software requires all stored procedures to
have quoted_identifier set a certain way. I've tripped over this a
few times and promptly fixed it, but this morning, I had to
troubleshoot a case where someone else tripped over it. In such a
situation, how can I identify which SP(s) have it set the wrong way?

(No huge rush, the someone-else has already fixed the recent case)

You can query against the SP text as follows.

select o.[name] as 'ProcName', c.[text] as 'ProcText'
from sysobjects o
join syscomments c on o.[id] = c.[id]
where o.[name] like 'usp%'

This is based on the assumption that all your SPs start with 'usp'.
Applying a WHERE clause should enable you to filter out certain procs.

Somebody please step in and correct this as I have a feeling it's not
the best way.|||Ed Murphy (emurphy42@.socal.rr.com) writes:

SELECT name
FROM sysobjects
WHERE objectproperty(id, 'ExecIsQuotedIdentOn') = 0

I'm assuming here that OFF is the incorrect position.

Find In...Stored Procedures?

All:
Is there a way to do a "Find" across the text of a set of stored
procedures? (SQL Server 2000)
I am in the process of doing some code refactoring and have eliminated
a column in one of my tables. Now, I want to find all the stored
procedures that use the column name.
Is there a way to do this? Alternatives?
Many thanks,

Find and Replace.

Does anybody know how to search through all stored procedures (in SQL Server 2000) and find and replace text without having to open each one individually in Query Analyzer and doing so one at a time?

That would be so time consuming. I want to be able to change my table names, but I have so many stored procedures allready using the old names. To go and find each name and replacing them is a task I don't want to even try and do.

Thank you to whomever can help.

Alecgo to enterprise manager > your database >
stored procedures > select all >
right click > All Tasks > Generate SQL Script >
click the Options Tab > check the box "Script Object Permission" >
hit the OK button and save this as a file.

then you can open this file up and do search and replace as you wish.
the file should contain sp drop statements followed by CREATE procedure statements

after you have masaged the file run it in QA
I recommend backing up your database first.

In enterprise manager, right click the view, go to "all tasks", and click
"display dependancies...". This will show you the same thing

find all sps where a field is used

In my database i want list of all stored procedures where i have used a
specific field.
Is there any way to do this.. any system sp which does thisYou have to search the prcedure definition for that, because AFAIK
there is no system binding or something like this where the information
is stored which columns are used. So the approach could be SELECT
Routine_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.Routines Where Routine_definition
like '%SomeValue%'
HTH, jens Suessmeyer.|||The information isn't stored in any system table, except for the source code
for the procedure
(syscomments). So you can use a LIKE predicate against the text column in sy
scomments, but be
careful as syscomments can break the line (use several rows for a procedure)
in the middle of a word
(at least it used to, perhaps newer versions are better).

CREATE TABLE #Depends

INSERT INTO #Depends

Drop Table #depends
Markus|||(The following applies to SQL 2000. I haven't tried it in SQL 2005.)
I'm assuming that enterprise manager uses sp_depends to display dependancy
information. If this is true, your suggestion will only work if objects are
created in the correct sequence.
For example, it works if:
1. Create Table1.
2. Create proc MyProc1 that select Data from Table1.
If you drop table1 and recreate it, dependancy information is lost and will
not be shown. Same holds true for stored procedures. If you create a store
d
procedure that references another stored procedure that doesn't exist yet,
you will not have dependancy information even after you create the other
stored procedure.
IMHO, the only sure fired way is to script the database to a text file and
search it for the column name and/or table names that you are interested in.
Also, if any view, stored procedure, or user-defined function uses an *,
then you can't search by column name.
Hope that helps,

Find all references to a database

Is there a way to scan all procedures, functions and triggers in an SQL
server for references to a specific database?
Thanks
Tom G.The following technique isn't perfect but will identify most objects. You
could also script the textual objects to a file and use a find command.
USE MyDatabase
SELECT DISTINCT OBJECT_NAME(id)
FROM syscomments
WHERE text LIKE '%SomeDatabase%'

Hope this helps.

Find / Search for a string in stored procedure?

Hi, I would like to find all the cases within all the stored procedures in a

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
