SQL Server - copy stored procedures from one db to another

Question

I am new to SQL, and what I needed to do was to combine 2 .mdf databases into one. I did that using SQL Server 2008 Manager - Tasks > Import/Export tables.The tables and views were copied successfully, but there are no Stored procedures in the new database. Is there any way to do that?

Answer 1

• Right click on database
• Tasks
• Generate Scripts
• Select the objects you wish to script
• Script to File
• Run generated scripts against target database

Answer 2

This code copies all stored procedures in the Master database to the target database, you can copy just the procedures you like by filtering the query on procedure name.

@sql is defined as nvarchar(max), @Name is the target database

DECLARE c CURSOR FOR     SELECT Definition    FROM [ResiDazeMaster].[sys].[procedures] p    INNER JOIN [ResiDazeMaster].sys.sql_modules m ON p.object_id = m.object_id  OPEN c  FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @sql  WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0  BEGIN    SET @sql = REPLACE(@sql,'''','''''')    SET @sql = 'USE [' + @Name + ']; EXEC(''' + @sql + ''')'     EXEC(@sql)     FETCH NEXT FROM c INTO @sql END               CLOSE c DEALLOCATE c
