It's no easy trick to see stored procedures in a database programmatically with a scripting language like ASP. If you're using MS Access, you're out of luck. Access provides no way to see the actual meat of a stored procedure although you can get the names of the procedures in the database with the ADOX.Catalog COM object.

But, if you are using SQL Server (like you should be because you care about your data), you have a guaranteed way to view all your stored procedures using two globally-available system objects: the built-in sysobjects system table and the sp_helptext system stored procedure.

With a couple of simple loops, everything about your stored procedures can be viewed and accessed programmatically in just a few lines. Here's the results of the function (I'm allowing you to view the first few procedures only because this method can be pretty resource-intensive. If you want the complete list of procedures I use on this site, you can get it here.) Here's how it looks when called:


CREATE PROCEDURE sp_addAdvertLink

@m1 DateTime,
@m2 DateTime,
@m3 VarChar(20),
@m4 VarChar(20),
@m5 VarChar(255),

@m8 VarChar(255)
)

(

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_AddMailRecip

@mEmailAddr VarChar(255)

AS
INSERT INTO
