On a MS SQL 2008 R2, I want to be able to catch the messages output into a variable. I need to run a script on many databases. Catch the message output (messages from print or raiserror) and log it into table. I need to do this from inside of a stored procedure.
For this script
Declare @sqlscript nvarchar(500)
Set @sqlscript =
'select * from sys.objects
raiserror (''My raised error'', 10,1)
select * from sys.schemas
print ''my print'''
EXEC sp_executesql @sqlscript
I would like to get
My raised error
my print
or
(60 row(s) affected)
My raised error
(21 row(s) affected)
my print
Update
I've decided to go with @rs suggestion. Logging into a table is the easiest way for me. Using a SP to log (to keep the code clean), plus a small regex to refactor all my scripts. The solution will be ready for tomorrow. Thanks a lot.
You could probably use the CLR and a technique similar to this:

But the best option is to probably EXEC into a temporary table which simply has a single varchar column:
