Alter Or Create Procedure?

14 New Member
HI.

I have to Alter a procedure if it exists or Create the procedure if it doesn't in SQL Server 2005.
I can manage to determine if it exists or not, but when i have the code to create and alter in the IF... ELSE statement it doesn't seem to work. It still trys to create it when it exists or alter when it doesn't. I would prefer not to drop the procedure if it exists...
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The CREATE PROCEDURE statement cannot be combined with other Transact-SQL statements in a single batch. That's according to this .

Try using a dynamic query to create or alter your stored proc.

Good luck.

/* for the google index */ ALTER TABLE DEFAULT COLUMN DEFAULT VALUE I've worked out several stored procedures for altering the default column values in a table. They were compiled from books and code snippets found here. It was a pain to work out so I've decided to share my work and research here. This post is just my way of saying thanks to several others here for posting with their wisdom and intelligence.

Hello, I have a problem with a Java user-defined stored procedure and the "alter sequence" statement. I use DB2 8.1.2 and had the same problem with 8.1.0, but not with 7.*. I get the following message: SQL0206N "dipf.AENDERUNGSLISTE_SEQ" ist in dem verwendeten Kontext ungültig.

Hi all, Following Ian's passionate postings on problems with ALTOBJ and the alter table wizard in the control center I'll try to explain how to use ALTOBJ with this thread. I'm not going to get into the GUI because it is hard to describe in text. First of all what is the purpose of ALTOBJ()? This procedure was created mostly for ISVs who need to do produce change scripts to upgrade application from release to release, but it can also

Keep in mind this is my first compiled SQL program Stored Procedure (SP), copied from a book by Frasier Visual C++.NET in Visual Studio 2005 (Chap12). So far, so theory, except for one bug (feature?) below.

Optional Create and Alter is nice because it fails, the original is still in place as are the original permissions. Drop and create is also valid in some cases if you want to clear/reset the permissions. I use an approach which lets me choose which one I want to implement on the fly. If I remove the first two dashes, the drop is disabled and it creates only if it doesn't already exist. Otherwise it drops, creates a filler sproc, and...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
