    Retrieving SQL Server 2005 Database Info using SMO: Scripting Tables, Views, Stored Procedures - Adding a few more routines to util.vb


    (Page 5 of 6 )

    To help myself with better modularization, I defined few more routines within “util.vb” as follows:

       Public Function getStoredProcedureList(ByRef svr As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server, ByRef db As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database) As DataTable
            Dim dt As New DataTable
            With dt.Columns
                .Add("SPName")
                .Add("Schema")
            End With
     
            For Each sp As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.StoredProcedure In db.StoredProcedures
                Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow
                dr("SPName") = sp.Name
                dr("Schema") = sp.Schema
                dt.Rows.Add(dr)
            Next
            Return dt
        End Function

    The above routine mainly returns all the stored procedures along with their schemas available in the specified database and instance (database and instance are part of arguments).

        Public Function getViewsList(ByRef svr As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server, ByRef db As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database) As DataTable
            Dim dt As New DataTable
            With dt.Columns
                .Add("ViewName")
                .Add("Schema")
            End With
     
            For Each vw As Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.View In db.Views
                Dim dr As DataRow = dt.NewRow
                dr("ViewName") = vw.Name
                dr("Schema") = vw.Schema
                dt.Rows.Add(dr)
            Next
            Return dt
        End Function

    The above routine mainly returns all the views along with their schemas available in the specified database and instance (database and instance are part of arguments).

    Once you add the above routines, don’t forget to populate “ComboBox2” accordingly (either by using “getStoredProceduresList” or “getViewsList”).
