trouble with exec @sql

  • I want to search all databases having sprocs containing text 'text I am looking for' for example.  Print @sql gives me a working query but at run time get error. What tweak needed to get this exec sql to run?

     

    Error

    Msg 203, Level 16, State 2, Line 33

    The name '

    SELECT DISTINCT s.name AS Schema_Name, o.name AS Object_Name, o.type_desc

    FROM master.sys.sql_modules m

    INNER JOIN master.sys.objects o ON m.object_id = o.object_id

    INNER JOIN master.sys.schemas s ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id

    WHERE m.definition Like '%text I am looking for%'' is not a valid identifier.

    Query

    declare @sql nvarchar(max)
    print @db_name

    INNER JOIN ' + @db_name + '.sys.objects o ON m.object_id = o.object_id
    INNER JOIN ' + @db_name + '.sys.schemas s ON o.schema_id = s.schema_id
    WHERE m.definition Like ''' + @text +''''
    print @sql
    exec @Sql
    FETCH NEXT FROM db_name INTO @db_name

    END

    CLOSE db_name
    DEALLOCATE db_name
