Copying a stored procedure from one database to another

Instead of creating dynamic script you could use one script with all the procedures that you want to create (you can script all the procs you want using 2 click in SSMS), you then run this script manually in the context of the database where you want to create these procedures or by passing the file with this script to sqlcmd with -i and passing the correct database name with -d.

Here Use the sqlcmd Utility you can see the examples.

SQL: programmatically copy stored procedures from one db to another

You can do it programatically in .NET using the SMO framework.

Free/easy implementation could be done via PowerShell.

I have a script that does just this - it generates the scripts for SQL objects, including Stored Procs, and executes the creation scripts on the target server.

It's a handy workaround when security concerns don't allow linked servers but you need to keep certain resources in sync across multiple servers.

If all you care about are the procs, it should be fairly straightforward to check sys.sql_modules on your source and target DBs and execute any that don't exist in the target via the definition field in that view.

How to copy tables , functions and stored procedures from one database to other in same Instance

You can script a backup/restore to do this, just restore to a different database name:

BACKUP DATABASE [DatabaseToCopy] TO DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\DatabaseToCopy.bak' WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'DatabaseToCopy-Full Database Backup', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10, CHECKSUM, CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR
go

RESTORE DATABASE [DatabaseToCreate] FROM DISK = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup\DatabaseToCopy.bak' WITH FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, REPLACE, STATS = 10
go

Just tweak the names and locations and create a sql server job to run it.
