在SQL Server 2008中更改存储过程的名称

Question

I have a stored procedure which I edit through Visual Studio 2008. Is there a simple way to change the name of the stored procedure? Right now if I look at the sproc's properties, the name of the sproc is grayed out.

Answer 1

EXEC sp_rename OLDNAME, NEWNAME

这假设您可以通过VS2008执行SQL语句。

Answer 2

If you have SSMS, you can right-click on the procedure name and choose rename.

The other option is to drop the procedure and recreate it with the new name.

Answer 3

This question is very old and already seen as answered but just to know that Renaming SP is not a good idea because it does not update sys.procedures.

For example, create a SP "sp_abc",

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_abc]
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
  SELECT ID,
         Name
  FROM tbl_Student WHERE IsDeleted = 0
END

Now, Rename it

sp_rename 'sp_abc', 'sp_Newabc'

it shows following warning.

Caution: Changing any part of an object name could break scripts and stored procedures.

Now see sp_Newabc

sp_helptext sp_Newabc

you can see this result.

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_abc]
AS    
BEGIN    
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
  SELECT ID,    
         Name    
  FROM tbl_Student WHERE IsDeleted = 0    
END

It still contains old Procedure name sp_abc. Because when you rename SP it does not update sys.procedure.

Better solution is to drop the stored procedure and re-create it with the new name.

Answer 4

sp_rename <oldname> <newname>

In SQL Server 2008 R2, sys.procedures seems to be updated. (in test environment)
