In sys.objects I found the object_id for the name 'adhoc_spDailyAccession_inf' a stored procedure.
When I look in sql_modules or syscomments using this object_id I see the code for a different stored procedure CREATE procedure [dbo].[rpt_spDailyAccession_inf]. Which is a little weird.
If I go into ssms and left click/modify the 'adhoc_spDailyAccession_inf' I get ALTER procedure [dbo].[adhoc_spDailyAccession_inf] Which is as it should be, so it is weirder.
The stored procdure rpt_spDailyAccession_inf can not be found in ssms.
When I do a search for '%adhoc_spDailyAccession%' in sql_modules I don't come up with anything.
This is in a sql 2008 db and the sql 2008 R2 db that it was restored to. Both dbs and serves have been cycled several times. dbcc checkdb comes up clean. I found this when writing code to do mass changes of the stored procedures. I tried to run the alter proc using the sql_modules definition column and got
Msg 208, Level 16, State 6, Procedure rpt_spDailyAccession_inf, Line 17 Invalid object name 'dbo.rpt_spDailyAccession_inf'
because there is no sys.object entry. This process worked for > 100 other stored procedures.
I'm ok with a glitch where the definition and object_id can get mismatched.
But where is sql hiding the stored procedure definition so that when I go through ssms I come up with the correct code? Any ideas? Do I have the tables I should be using wrong?
And no this is not a finger check or misread. I checked this about 20X and it is really impacting my positive outlook. Any help would be appreciated.
