why can I never remember sp_helptext?

March 10, 2005 by Leave a Comment

Roughly once ever year or two, I have to look at a Sybase database to do some troubleshooting and it almost always involves looking at the body of a stored procedure. Since it’s so infrequent, I can never remember what the magic incantation is to get Sybase to give up that blossom of information. Every time, I spend a good five or ten minutes Googling around until I find the Sybase cheat sheet that reminds me the answer is sp_helptext.
