Overview
In addition to creating stored procedures there is also the need to delete stored procedures. This topic shows you how you can delete stored procedures that are no longer needed.
Explanation
The syntax is very straightforward to drop a stored procedure, here are some examples.
Dropping Single Stored Procedure
To drop a single stored procedure you use the DROP PROCEDURE or DROP PROC command as follows.
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.uspGetAddress GO -- or DROP PROC dbo.uspGetAddress GO
Dropping Multiple Stored Procedures
To drop multiple stored procedures with one command you specify each procedure separated by a comma as shown below.
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.uspGetAddress, dbo.uspInsertAddress, dbo.uspDeleteAddress GO -- or DROP PROC dbo.uspGetAddress, dbo.uspInsertAddress, dbo.uspDeleteAddress GO
