How to get stored procedure parameters details?
For a supplied procedure name, the following query lists all of its parameters and their order along with their type and the type's length (for use with VARCHAR, etc.)
Replace procedure_name
with the name of your procedure.
DECLARE @ProcedureName VARCHAR(MAX) = 'procedure_name'
SELECT
pa.parameter_id AS [order]
, pa.name AS [name]
, UPPER(t.name) AS [type]
, t.max_length AS [length]
FROM sys.parameters AS pa
INNER JOIN sys.procedures AS p on pa.object_id = p.object_id
INNER JOIN sys.types AS t on pa.system_type_id = t.system_type_id AND pa.user_type_id = t.user_type_id
WHERE p.name = @ProcedureName
select * from sys.parameters
inner join sys.procedures on parameters.object_id = procedures.object_id
inner join sys.types on parameters.system_type_id = types.system_type_id AND parameters.user_type_id = types.user_type_id
where procedures.name = 'sp_name'
select
'Parameter_name' = name,
'Type' = type_name(user_type_id),
'Length' = max_length,
'Prec' = case when type_name(system_type_id) = 'uniqueidentifier'
then precision
else OdbcPrec(system_type_id, max_length, precision) end,
'Scale' = OdbcScale(system_type_id, scale),
'Param_order' = parameter_id,
'Collation' = convert(sysname,
case when system_type_id in (35, 99, 167, 175, 231, 239)
then ServerProperty('collation') end)
from sys.parameters where object_id = object_id('MySchema.MyProcedure')
There are the system tables, like sys.objects
or sys.sysobjects
.
Or you could also look at INFORMATION_SCHEMA
, specifically INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES
and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINE_COLUMNS
.
Because it is in the ANSI-standard INFORMATION_SCHEMA
, there are less SQL Server specific quirks. IMHO it is easier to understand for most things.
