Here’s a handy little code snippet.  Find any stored procedures that won’t compile on SQL Server.

The routine will list all procedures, showing ‘– Failed’ with the error messages for those that fail.

Note that recompiling the procedures may also throw dependency errors also that can’t be caught with try/catch block … these errors likely indicate an issue as well.

SET NOCOUNT ON

DECLARE @ProcedureName VARCHAR(2048)
DECLARE @ProcedureBody VARCHAR(MAX)

DECLARE @RoutineName varchar(500)

DECLARE procCursor CURSOR STATIC FORWARD_ONLY READ_ONLY
 FOR
 SELECT
 --TOP 1
 SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id) + '.' + NAME AS ProcedureName,
 OBJECT_DEFINITION(o.[object_id]) AS ProcedureBody
 FROM sys.objects AS o
 WHERE o.[type] = 'P'
 ORDER BY o.[name]

OPEN procCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM procCursor INTO @ProcedureName, @ProcedureBody

WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
 -- Might have to play with this logic if you don't have discipline in your create statements
 SET @ProcedureBody = REPLACE(@ProcedureBody, 'CREATE PROCEDURE', 'ALTER PROCEDURE')

 BEGIN TRY
   EXECUTE(@ProcedureBody)
   PRINT @ProcedureName + ' -- Succeeded'
 END TRY
 BEGIN CATCH
   PRINT @ProcedureName + ' -- Failed: ' + ERROR_MESSAGE()
 END CATCH

 FETCH NEXT FROM procCursor INTO @ProcedureName, @ProcedureBody
END

CLOSE procCursor
DEALLOCATE procCursor
