Listing All Stored Procedures - getProcedures()

This section describes how to get a list of all stored procedures in the current database on the SQL Server through the DatabaseMetaData object.

If you want to list all stored procedures in the current database, you can use the DatabaseMetaData method: getProcedures(). Input parameters are:

The output is captured in a ResultSet object with the following fields:

The following sample program displays all procedures in the AdventureWorks2014 database

import java.sql.*;
public class ListProcedures {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {

      con = DriverManager.getConnection(
          "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\SQLEXPRESS;"
        + "user=herong;password=T0pSecret;"
        + "database=AdventureWorks2019");

      DatabaseMetaData meta = con.getMetaData();
      ResultSet res = meta.getProcedures(null, null, null);
      System.out.println("List of procedures: ");
      while (res.next()) {
         System.out.println(
            "   "+res.getString("PROCEDURE_CAT")
           + ", "+res.getString("PROCEDURE_SCHEM")
           + ", "+res.getString("PROCEDURE_NAME"));
      }
      res.close();

      con.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

If you run this program, you will get:

herong> java -cp .;mssql-jdbc-9.4.1.jre16.jar ListProcedures.java
