Question

I need to find all SPs, which are used in particular page. Problem, that they aren’t called directly from page, but from other assemblies in other projects. So, I need to analyse all code to find them. I just think maybe some other method exists? Just run this page in application and catch all moments when SQL server is calling? Using VS 2010, MSSQL 2008, C#, web forms.

Answer 1

I got the idea about using Profiler to get list of SPs on some specific pages in application, which I develop from two people, who left comments. Here I just wabt to share details how I used Profiler:

1. Run Profiler
2. Choose TSQ_SPs Template
3. On the Event Selection tab select “Show all columns” checkbox
4. On the same page check only one event: SP:Completed
5. On Colum Filters set filters for ApplicationName, DatabaseName, HostName, LoginName.
   Actually it’s enough only DatabaseName and HostName. HostName as my computer name, because I run application locally from VS.
6. Save Trace properties as Template.
7. Run trace
8. Run application.
9. Before loading required page clean trace
10. Open page and pressing different buttons and controls on the page
11. After you finished with all actions on the page, save Trace as Trace Table to db.

12. Running the following query:

    SELECT DISTINCT ObjectName FROM SPTableName

and getting list of SPs for this page.
DISTINCT allows you to eliminate repeating SPs, because on each page SPs run many times.

Repeat 9 – 12 for each page.
