I have been told an entity called table_loader in a database, database_1 in SSMS (version 2008 R2) exists and needs to be fixed. It is not obviously a stored proc. It's purpose is to convert an excel spreadsheet to table data. Is there any easy way to search a database for an entity name in SSMS.
The find function appears to work only with text SQL files as opened in SSMS.
Since originally posting I have found out from a colleague that this entity is a DTS package; however, I believe searching a database for a name is still a useful thing to be able to do, especially if you don't know what "layer" the entity is in with respect to the database folder structure.
Thanks.
A great, free, tool is Red-Gate SQL Search. It lets you search for just about any object from SSMS in a very user-friendly manner. http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-search/. You just type in the object name and it will search across databases and object types and display what it finds. I like it because it also searches within sproc text and such which can be very helpful, depending on what you're looking for.
