Question

I would like to create a stored procedure in my database from within C# code.

How can I do this?

FOR INSTANCE: Using Microsoft SQL Server, I just want to create a stored procedure sp_GetUsers in the database that takes an int parameter userid and a simple statement such as

SELECT * FROM Users WHERE ID = @userid

This would be great because I could check the DB for the existence of that stored procedure, and if it doesn’t, I just create from within code.

You can run arbitrary DDL statements:

new SqlCommand(@"CREATE PROCEDURE ...").ExecuteNonQuery();
