Greetings for the day!!
My requirement is we have Stored procedures created with one ID in database now i need to copy the script of Stored procedure created with existing ID and rename it with New ID.
Is there any SQL server Query to do above process.
PS:i am aware about sp_helptext. looking for SQL script.
Thank you.

I have a stored procedure that updates a table taking the data from a source and I want to modify the stored procedure so that it takes data from a table in an external database and updates a table in the original server. Can this be achieved and how ?
See linked servers, it's treated just a synonym: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff772782.aspx
Actually synonyms are treated like linked servers..
I need the "create table... " statement for a particular table and stored procedure to recreate them in another database. Forget the backup and restore. I have to do it in vb6. Its the same thing you get when you copy the Table And paste it in query analyzer. Its sql server 2000
Edit: Now I Know it can be asked as 'How To Script Entire Database Through VB6'.
Take a look at this StackOverlow post which talks about the same. Although it is not VB6-specific, you should be able to apply this solution without a problem.
Essentially you create a stored procedure that will generate the CREATE TABLE statement for the given table. The stored procedure will examine the sysobjects table to build the SQL.
Your VB6 application can run the stored procedure on server 'A' fetching the CREATE TABLE SQL. Then connect to server 'B' and run that SQL to create the table on the other server.
I have a set of 10 tables in a database (DB1). And there are 10 tables in another database (DB2) with exact same schema on the same SQL Server 2008 R2 database server machine.
The 10 tables in DB1 are frequently updated with data.
I intend to write a stored procedure that would run once every day for synchronizing the 10 tables in DB1 with DB2. The stored procedure would make use of the MERGE statement.
Now, my aim is to make this as generic and parametrized as possible. That is, accommodate for more tables down the line... and accommodate different source and target DB names. Definitely no hard coding is intended.
This is my algorithm so far:
Have the database names as parameters
Have the first query within the stored procedure... result in giving the names of the 10 tables from a lookup table (this can be 10, 20 or whatever)
Have a generic MERGE statement that does the sync for each of the above set of tables (based on primary key?)
This is where I need more inputs on.
What is the best way to achieve this stored procedure? SQL syntax would be helpful.
I had to do something similar, to do that i used a string with a "skeleton" for the merge statement, then i retrieved the list of columns and the pks with a simple query on the sys views.
you could do something similar to build your merge statement, here's a sketch i wrote now as an example (I know it's horrible but i'm not going to write something decent at this hour, and it should give you a hint anyway :P )

then you just need to execute it with the usual sp_executesql stored procedure
by the way, always pay attention when building command strings this way, it's not that secure
I have to create a procedure to fetch few values from database but I don't have access to write procedure on that server. So, I wanted to create that procedure on another server and fetch the values. I wanted to know if is it possible to create procedure to fetch values from any other server?.
Assume that in the target database you have read only access to fetch data. In that case you could
Create a database link from the database where you would be creating
stored procedure.
Read the data from target database using the database link (db link).
Once you are able to get the data from target database you could do any manipulation you would want to. For creating database link in sql server you could check this
Can I get the whole query which I used for creating a table, like we have sp_helptext to get the query of a stored procedure.
sp_helptext 'procedure_name'
Is there anything like this available for create table also in SQL server express?
I want to view the whole query which I wrote for creating a particular table and not the table structure.
Like if a deleted a table, and again want to create it, then I would have to type the whole query again, so I want a way through which I don't have to write the whole query again, like in mysql there is an option such as SHOW, which shows the table query?
In SQL Server Management Studio you can right-click on a table in the Object Explorer window and choose to generate the CREATE script into a new query window or put it in the clipboard or save it in a file.
Try sp_columns or sp_help. But this will not give you the CREATE TABLE text, you have to create this text for yourself.
