Comments on: SQL SERVER – Renaming SP is Not Good Idea – Renaming Stored Procedure Does Not Update sys.procedures http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/09/28/sql-server-renaming-stored-procedure-does-not-update-sysprocedures/ Notes of a SQL Server MVP and Database Administrator Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:54:09 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Alireza Haghshenas http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2008/09/28/sql-server-renaming-stored-procedure-does-not-update-sysprocedures/#comment-45515 Alireza Haghshenas Sat, 10 Jan 2009 10:51:58 +0000 http://sqlauthority.wordpress.com/?p=1195#comment-45515 Hi. I open the procedure in Visual studio, and see the old name after the "Alter procedure" as you said. It's not unexpected that saving this procedure fails. My solution was to change the name that comes after the "Alter procedure" to the new one and everything is fine ever since. thanks, Alireza Hi.

Though after executing sp_helptext, I saw that the name is not changed, but when i see in the sys.procedures, i found that the name of the procedure is changed i.e the sys.procedures system table do get updated. Pls check and clarify if I am going wrong. Thanks in advance. Abhishek Hi Pinal,

I found this bit interesting and investigated it further. I was curious how SSMS manages this, because when you generate the ALTER/CREATE script from SSMS it generates the correct object name.

I know many people just rename stored procedures, functions, views etc right from the Management Studio and land up with this problem. Just wanted to add that this problem exists with Views, Triggers and Functions too. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188351(SQL.90).aspx Nice post, Pinal.
