Can anyone please guide me on how to create a stored procedure or a trigger that would be run every hour or in intervals, to check all the entire DB i.e. all the columns for any html tags (for e.g.< >),and if html tags have been stored in any colums, the procedure would strip the html tags.
thanks for the help

I'd be inclined to recommend using CLR regex functions for that.
And I'd use them on inputs, instead of scanning the whole database every hour.

Why exactly do you think you need to do this?

all i need to do is to strip out any html tags from all the colums in the db entered by croos site scripting. i know that there is a javascript function that does it in the forms but i have no clue abt how to check and strip it from the columns
thanks
let me know if that makes sense

i have this code in my snippets for stripping HTML tags, but there's other ways to do this, regualr expressions and CLR being boatloads faster, as GSquared stated.
this might not check for badly formed/malformed html with missing ending brackets...it's been a while since i tested this.
--===== Replace all HTML tags with nothing
WHILE CHARINDEX(' CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText)
SELECT @HTMLText = STUFF(@HTMLText,
CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText),
CHARINDEX('>',@HTMLText)-CHARINDEX('<',@HTMLText)+1,
'')

Just don't run a script like that on any column that might intentionally include XML.
And hope nobody has a password with brackets in it.
That's why I recommend actual regex functions. Will handle HTML tags without destroying anything else.

all i need to do is to strip out any html tags from all the colums in the db entered by croos site scripting.
May I suggest, rather than trying to fix the results of XSS, fix the website and eliminate the cause of it?

Just to try,
-- To get the list of Tags removed....
Declare @vTagNameTable Table(Tag varchar(max))

Declare @vCharI1 int -- Used to locate '<'
Declare @vCharI2 int -- Used to locate '>' to get Tag Name
Declare @vCharICheck int -- Used to Check for Tag Name
Declare @vEndTagName varchar(1000)
Declare @vStartPos int
Set @vStartPos = 0
While 1=1
begin
Set @vCharI1 = CharIndex('<',@v,@vStartPos)
if @vCharI1 > 0

else

Set @v = Replace(@v,@vEndTagName,'')
end

end
if @vStartPos = Len(@v)

print 'Over Here....'
BREAK
end
end
else
begin

BREAK
end
Select * from @vTagNameTable
Select @v as StringWithoutTags
