Generating Stored Procedure calls automatically WWhich gives the following result on Adventureworks… WHERE CAST ( value AS VARCHAR ( 100 ) ) LIKE 'Input parameter for the stored procedure%' Here is a TSQL expression (SQL Server 2005 or above) that will at least tell you what code in a database is not properly documented, when you come to look at a database. (Yes, SQL Doc has a nice interface for filling in extended properties.) There is even a handy utility, SQLTAC, to check such things, and prompt you to add the documentation, or ‘domain knowledge’ as Steve refers to it. This is one of the instances where I’m happy to be dogmatic: I never ever allow a database through a code-review unless every database object has at least a summary explanation of what on earth it does or why it is there. SQL Server Management studio makes it ridiculously tiresome to do so, and impossible in places. SQL Prompt and SSMS Tools: even SSMS does it now), but the ones I’ve seen assume that you have been too idle to properly document the database you’ve created by using extended properties. Beautifully-documented tooįortunately there are already tools for coming up with simple SELECT statements (e.g. If you are a SQL Server developer who hates repetitive typing, then read on.
In this article, I’ll be showing you how to produce properly documented, run-of-the-mill code extremely quickly with very little frustrating effort, using system views. Why then, spend so much typing out stuff when it can be generated automatically? It just needs touching up here and there for the occasion is it used. The simple code to call stored procedures, do simple SELECTS from tables or views, INSERTS, UPDATES, use Table-valued functions and so on are almost entirely determined by the metadata that is accessible in the system views.
Your creative contribution is, in percentage terms, quite minor. Much of the routine SQL code you write for applications is redundant, or should be.
