I’d like to add the msdb.dbo.sp_help_job system stored procedure to a LINQ to SQL

  • 0

I’d like to add the “msdb.dbo.sp_help_job” system stored procedure to a LINQ to SQL object, but I can’t figure out how to specify it. If I create a new Data Connection in Server Explorer and specify the “msdb” database of the server I want, and navigate to “Stored Procedures”, that procedure is not listed. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I’ve added regular (user defined) stored procedures in the past with no problem. I know I could get there by executing it via “ExecuteCommand” on the data context, and I could also create a “wrapper” stored procedure that did nothing but call “sp_help_job”, but I’d like to know how to hook it up directly to LINQ, or if it’s even possible.

    The System Stored Procedures are not actually sitting inside your database, but rather the Read-Only Resource database.

    However, here’s how you can make it possible to find them:
