HI,
I have a sql server stored procedure and it uses hard coded value (e.g sql server service account).
The stored procedure for Production environment uses Production service account and stored procedure script for test environment uses test service account.
The issue is if we refresh test sql server database from production environment, the script is replaced by Production stored procedure script and then the production service account throws exception while running in test environment.

Is there any way I can know the environment of sql server e.g Test or Production at run time and then use case if else, case statement to set the service account value accordingly to sql server environment?
Or you have any other suggestion.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

@@servername is normally the way to go, but it depends on how you refresh your environment

I worked with a company who cloned all of their EPOS systems in 400 stores, they didn't just "restore database" they did a full Clone of the pc (i'm not calling it a server, it was a Compaq form factor desktop)

all of the pc's were reporting the same @@servername

so we had to use select serverproperty('machinename') - thankfully we got them to include sp_dropserver and sp_addserver into their buildscripts, so that they all lined up

however serverproperty won't show you the instance name if it is a named instance

Isn't the physical machine name different?

SELECT SERVERPROPERTY('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')

not used that one before.. Does it include the instance name?... That's the kicker.

No, that is purely the physical name.

On a cluster, SERVERPROPERTY('MachineName') shows the instance name.

For a non-clustered named instance, if that doesn't show the instance name, then use:

SERVERPROPERTY('InstanceName')
