Viewing the source code of SP in Yukon

Let us look into the way of displaying the definition of user defined stored procedure and system stored procedure in Sql Server 2005 (code named yukon).

In Sql Server 2000 we would use the sp_helptext to view the source code of both user defined and system stored procedure. But that isn't completely true in Yukon.

User defined stored procedure
In Yukon to view the source code of user defined stored proc use the following code snippet

sys.sp_helptext ProcedureName
(or)
sp_helptext ProcedureName

System stored procedure

In Sql server 2000 to view the source code of system stored procedure we use the following syntax

use master
sp_helptext sp_help

But sp_helptext cannot be used to display the definition of system objects in Yukon. So for system stored procedures use the following syntax.

Select object_definition (object_id ('sys.sp_helptext')) as 'Source of Sp_helptext'

My Wedding Anniversary :)

Six years back on the same day I married Sai Lakshmi (12-July-2000). I know Sai for almost 13 years now :) I fell in love with her during my 12th standard. I know @ 17 yrs any person wouldn't be matured enough to make a big decision like this. But thank God my choice was perfect :) Even now, very often we used to think about the past and laugh at our behaviors/actions then. My love story would be really interesting (at least for me and Sai :)) and I am sure none of you guys would be interested in reading about it so lemme not get into it in-depth. But one thing which I want to share is "Without Sai, I wouldn't have entered into the IT field at all". She was instrumental in convincing me to study my Master's degree in Computer Application. That's the move that changed my career. Till my schooling, my dream was to either become a "big" sportsman (Cricket and Badminton were my favorites at that time.) or an Aeronautics engineer. Unfortunately, my l...

What should one look @ while buying a land in chennai?

Offlate people have started thinking about investing their money in lands. I too think that to be a wise decision only! As most of us know buying a land in chennai (for that matter any where in the world) isn't an easy affair. I was just wondering what all one needs to look at before deciding to purchase a land. I thought I would put down what ever I know about this subject here. [Guys pls free to correct me if I my understanding is wrong somewhere. That way, it would help me understand as well as others who might read this in future]. Here we go ... 1. One should not buy farm lands if they want to build a residential house sometime later there. Because to my knowledge its illegal to build residential houses on lands meant for irrigation. 2. Encumberance Certificate -- This is what is shortly refered as "EC". One needs to get an EC from local sub registrar office (i guess we need pay a small amount for this). From this we / our lawyers :) can find out whether the guy who ...

What a coincidence!

Whenever Sai lakshmi (my wife) returns home after staying for few days in my in-laws place it would rain (atleast drizzle) here in Ramavaram. Now its 10:15 PM here in Chennai and its raining. Yes today morning only she came back to our house from my in-laws place :) I know its mere coincidence but I am really surprised this is happening for more than 2 years now :) Have any such coincidence happened in your life?
