Question

Currently we use separate a drop statements for each stored procedure in the script file:

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[MySP]')   
  AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))  
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[MySP] 

Is there a way to drop them all at once, or maybe in a loop?

Answer 1

Something like (Found at Delete All Procedures from a database using a Stored procedure in SQL Server).

Just so by the way, this seems like a VERY dangerous thing to do, just a thought…

declare @procName varchar(500)
declare cur cursor 

for select [name] from sys.objects where type = 'p'
open cur
fetch next from cur into @procName
while @@fetch_status = 0
begin
    exec('drop procedure [' + @procName + ']')
    fetch next from cur into @procName
end
close cur
deallocate cur
