SQL- Count occurrences of a specific word within a

问题:

I need to count the occurrences of a particular word in all of my stored procedures.

i.e. How many times does the word 'place' occur in all of the stored procedures within a specific database?

I was trying to do this using cursors, but I am not getting anywhere!

回答1:

I would use object_definition function and sys.procedures view this way:

declare @word varchar(128)
set @word = 'place'

select name, (len(object_definition(object_id)) -  len(replace(object_definition(object_id), @word, ''))) / len (@word) as qty
from sys.procedures
where object_definition(object_id) like '%'+@word+'%' and type = 'P'
order by name

Added after comment, all occurrences of specific word in all stored procedures:

declare @word varchar(128)
set @word = 'place'

select sum((len(object_definition(object_id)) -  len(replace(object_definition(object_id), @word, ''))) / len (@word)) as qty
from sys.procedures
where object_definition(object_id) like '%'+@word+'%'

Here is working (and updated after comment) example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!3/a759c/7
