Question

Is it possible, without parsing source, to select a list of all sproc names that insert, update, or delete records? I need to create a TSQL utility script that will do this. Efficiency is not an issue because it will be run only a few times a year (Curse’rs I mean Cursors are ok). Ideally this script would not include updates to temp or local variable tables.

I tried the following query found on SO Question.

SELECT 
 so.name,
 so2.name,
 sd.is_updated
 from sysobjects so
 inner join sys.sql_dependencies sd on so.id = sd.object_id
 inner join sysobjects so2 on sd.referenced_major_id = so2.id
where so.xtype = 'p' -- procedure
 and 
is_updated = 1 -- proc updates table, or at least, I think that's what this means 

But it produces false negatives.

Call sp_refreshsqlmodule on all non-schema bound stored procedures:

DECLARE @template AS varchar(max)
SET @template = 'PRINT ''{OBJECT_NAME}''
EXEC sp_refreshsqlmodule ''{OBJECT_NAME}''

'

DECLARE @sql AS varchar(max)

SELECT  @sql = ISNULL(@sql, '') + REPLACE(@template, '{OBJECT_NAME}',
                                          QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_SCHEMA) + '.'
                                          + QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_NAME))
FROM    INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
WHERE   OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_SCHEMA) + '.'
                                 + QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_NAME)),
                       N'IsSchemaBound') IS NULL
        OR OBJECTPROPERTY(OBJECT_ID(QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_SCHEMA) + '.'
                                    + QUOTENAME(ROUTINE_NAME)),
                          N'IsSchemaBound') = 0

        EXEC (
              @sql
            )
