Question

I have a stored procedure which is nested in several other stored procedure. Is there a way to tell (inside the internal stored procedure) which is the caller?

CREATE PROC int_proc 
AS

SELECT int_name = OBJECT_NAME(@@PROCID)
      ,ext_name = 'How can I tell which is the ext_proc name?'
      ,nestlevel = @@NESTLEVEL

GO
CREATE PROC ext_proc1
AS
SELECT ext_name = OBJECT_NAME(@@PROCID),nestlevel = @@NESTLEVEL
EXECUTE int_proc

GO
CREATE PROC ext_proc2
AS
SELECT ext_name = OBJECT_NAME(@@PROCID),nestlevel = @@NESTLEVEL
EXECUTE int_proc

GO

EXEC ext_proc1
EXEC ext_proc2

I’m using SQL-Server 2005

No, there isn’t. The “stack” isn’t available to us

Why do you need this? FYI, I pass in @@PROCID to a common error logging stored procedure. So there are some uses for this. But none natively in SQL
