SQL Server - How to Copy a Stored Procedure to Another Database

Question

I have a stored procedure with the exact same path on multiple servers (live, development and test) and I would like to modify/alter it simultaneously. I was thinking this would happen via altering one and then copying that and overwriting it over the other two servers.

Would this be easily achieved?

Answer 1

1. If you can connect to all the environments from a single SSMS (unlikely in many companies because of security), you can register all 3 SQL Server instances in a single group and execute the same script on all instances simultaneously (refer to: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb964743.aspx )

2. You can script out your stored procedure and use SQLCMD tool to execute it from file. Again, if you can connect to all instances from a single server, you can just duplicate the command in the script, but connect to multiple instances ie just use 3 SQLCMD lines

Answer 2

You can use any schema compare tool, Such as Red Gate SQL Compare
