Many times we face a typical problem of searching for a string the definitions of all objects in all the databases.<\/p>\n
Real time scenario:<\/strong> Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n TSQL Query: SET @vQuery = ‘ exec sp_MSforeachdb @vQuery The above query returns the names of all objects that have a string\/text as ‘test’.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you wanted to display the type of the object also, then below is the query:<\/p>\n [sql] SET @vQuery = ‘ exec sp_MSforeachdb @vQuery And now, if you wanted to display the database name also in the output. SET @vQuery = ‘ exec sp_MSforeachdb @vQuery Making the query mode advanced by adding raiserror to check the databases scanned. SET @vQuery = ‘ exec sp_MSforeachdb @vQuery Many times we face a typical problem of searching for a string the definitions of all objects in all the databases. Real time scenario: You wanted to search for all the objects in all databases that have used the word test in its definition.
