Question

I created a stored procedure for insert query and run the code. Successfully it executed. Now I want to remove one column from from that SP. How to do it?

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.NewTerms_Insert
    @ListID nvarchar(50) ,
    @TimeCreated datetime ,
    @TimeModified datetime ,

AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    INSERT INTO dbo.NewTerms
        (
            ListID  ,
            TimeCreated  ,
            TimeModified  ,

        )
    VALUES
        (
            @ListID  ,
            @TimeCreated  ,
            @TimeModified  ,

        )

GO

I want to remove ListID from this Stored Procedure named dbo.NewTerms_Insert. How to do it?

Answer 1

Just ALTER the procedure with removing that column.

 ALTERPROCEDURE dbo.NewTerms_Insert
        @TimeCreated datetime ,
        @TimeModified datetime ,

    AS
    BEGIN
        SET NOCOUNT ON
        INSERT INTO dbo.NewTerms
        (

            TimeCreated  ,
            TimeModified  ,

        )
    VALUES
        (

            @TimeCreated  ,
            @TimeModified  ,

        )
END
GO

Answer 2

Remove the column and alter the procedure:

ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.NewTerms_Insert
    @TimeCreated datetime ,
    @TimeModified datetime 

AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    INSERT INTO dbo.NewTerms
        (
            TimeCreated  ,
            TimeModified  

        )
    VALUES
        (
            @TimeCreated  ,
            @TimeModified  

        )
END
GO

Answer 3

Simply modify the procedure as you want (changing its interface and/or its body).
Before executing that script, run the following in order to make sure the previous version is removed:

IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.NewTerms_Insert', 'P') IS NOT NULL   
  DROP PROCEDURE dbo.NewTerms_Insert;  
GO  

Personally, I find it good practise to insert that fragment at the beginning of each script that creates/modifies a procedure or whatever.

Alter procedure and remove list column from insert statement and from value

Alter PROCEDURE dbo.NewTerms_Insert
      (
        @ListID nvarchar(50) ,
        @TimeCreated datetime ,
        @TimeModified datetime 
      )

    AS
    BEGIN
        SET NOCOUNT ON
        INSERT INTO dbo.NewTerms
            (

                TimeCreated ,TimeModified  

            )
        VALUES
            (

                @TimeCreated  ,
                @TimeModified  

            )
    END
    GO
