Dynamically getting the callee name of a stored procedure

I am calling a Error Handling/reporting stored procedure from within another stored proc.

I would like the error handling/reporting stored procedure to record which stored procedure it was called from, is this possible?

You can pass that the calling procedure name as a parameter to this procedure so that if any error happens, you can track which procedure called it.

Ideal way is to have a log table and insert records into it each and every time, a procedure is called out.

Yea thats what I am doing now, but, I would like to get the name automatically, so i can just run the stored procedure in every procedure i see fit, without needing to update that parameter. Just a streamlined way of doing it!

Raja Jegan R

I didn't find any option for that since a procedure can be called anywhere either from the application or from query analyzer like that. Anyhow will check it revert if I find some possible solutions

I don't know of any way to get that info in SQL Server.

Its just like in JavaScript, where you can check what the callee is named: Function.arguments.callee or window.callee.

Raja Jegan R

Thats practically impossible.
Assume an user is executing procedure from Enterprise Manager.
Another from SSMS.
Another from Toad.
Another from a master procedure.
Another from a nested level 2 procedure.
Etc.,

Hence its practically not possible to identify the user without using a Parameter for that query
And hence the answer for your question is No.

The Procedure I am calling will only ever be called from another stored procedure, and it's that stored procedure that I would like to identify, not the user.
