Query to list all stored procedures

Question

As Mike stated, the best way is to use information_schema. As long as you're not in the master database, system stored procedures won't be returned.

SELECT * 
  FROM DatabaseName.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
 WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE'

If for some reason you had non-system stored procedures in the master database, you could use the query (this will filter out MOST system stored procedures):

SELECT * 
  FROM [master].INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
 WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' 
   AND LEFT(ROUTINE_NAME, 3) NOT IN ('sp_', 'xp_', 'ms_')

SELECT name, 
       type
  FROM dbo.sysobjects
 WHERE (type = 'P')

From my understanding the "preferred" method is to use the information_schema tables:

select * 
  from information_schema.routines 
 where routine_type = 'PROCEDURE'

The following will Return All Procedures in selected database

SELECT * FROM sys.procedures

You can try this query to get stored procedures and functions:

SELECT name, type
FROM dbo.sysobjects
WHERE type IN (
    'P', -- stored procedures
    'FN', -- scalar functions 
    'IF', -- inline table-valued functions
    'TF' -- table-valued functions
)
ORDER BY type, name

You can use one of the below queries to find the list of Stored Procedures in one database :

Query1 :

    SELECT 
        *
    FROM sys.procedures;

Query2 :

    SELECT 
        * 
    FROM information_schema.routines 
    WHERE ROUTINE_TYPE = 'PROCEDURE' 

If you want to find the list of all SPs in all Databases you can use the below query :

    CREATE TABLE #ListOfSPs 
    (
        DBName varchar(100), 
        [OBJECT_ID] INT,
        SPName varchar(100)
    )

    EXEC sp_msforeachdb 'USE [?]; INSERT INTO #ListOfSPs Select ''?'', Object_Id, Name FROM sys.procedures'

    SELECT 
        * 
    FROM #ListOfSPs

If you are using SQL Server 2005 the following will work:

select *
  from sys.procedures
 where is_ms_shipped = 0
