Drop all stored procedures from SQL Server database
Following SQL script drops all user stored procedures from a SQL Server database.
USE TestDatabase
DECLARE @CurrStoredProcedureName SYSNAME
DECLARE StoredProceduresCursor CURSOR FOR
SELECT name FROM sys.objects WHERE type = 'P'
OPEN StoredProceduresCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM StoredProceduresCursor INTO @CurrStoredProcedureName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
EXECUTE('DROP PROCEDURE ' + @CurrStoredProcedureName)
FETCH NEXT FROM StoredProceduresCursor INTO @CurrStoredProcedureName
END
CLOSE StoredProceduresCursor
DEALLOCATE StoredProceduresCursor
GO
Replace database name with your database name in the above script. Mainly we are doing following two things:
- Get all the user stored procedures in a CURSOR.
- Loop through the cursor, build a DROP PROCEDURE query for each stored procedure and execute it.
