How to automate changes in stored procedures in SQL Server? - sql-server

Question

I've got two databases in SQL Server where one database (ConfigDb) references other (DataDb). Many of stored procedures and functions in ConfigDb uses tables and functions/SPs in DataDb. They are referenced like [DataDb].[dbo].[the_object].
Now, I would need to clone the databases to test version, i.e. restore them from backups as ConfigDb_Test and DataDb_Test. Obviously, ConfigDb_Test references DataDb, not the DataDb_Test.
Any tips how to handle this better than opening SP by SP and edit manually?
EDIT
For refernce, I put the utility at GitHub

OK, it is in VB (not c#) -- and I'm not a .net guy, so I'm sure there's a better way to do this.
I caution you to step through and observe the code work, but I use this a lot, and it works great!
Once you enter your servername/credentials, a list of db's will appear (system db's are excluded). Select the db's you want to run against (check list) and enter the find/replace text strings. When you click start, each proc will be opened/scanned, and a REPLACE() is run on matching strings -- so be careful what you put in the FIND/REPLACE text boxes!
Here it goes...
Please, be careful with this, and use at your own risk.
