Remove SQL Comments from Stored Procedure - SQL Server 2008 R2

Question

We would like to remove developer comments from stored procedures for some specific reason.

Is there any mechanism available within SQL Server 2008 R2?

Answer 1

It may be possible to script alter statements based on meta data and strip the comments in the process.

As a starting point take a look at sys.sql_modules

SELECT OBJECT_SCHEMA_NAME(m.object_id) AS [SchemaName],
       OBJECT_NAME(m.object_id) AS [ObjectName], o.type, m.definition
FROM   sys.sql_modules m 
inner join sys.all_objects o  on o.object_id = m.object_id 
where o.is_ms_shipped = 0 
order by OBJECT_NAME(m.object_id) ;

But I don't know why you don't just manually script the sp's to a text file and strip it before running.
