Question

Is there a way to rename stored procedure dynamically.

For Example:

if my procedure name is:’usp_sg_Cons_Data’

I want to do something like:

EXEC sp_rename 'usp_sg_Cons_Data','usp_sg_Cons_Data__' + Current datetimestamp

So if i Execute the above it should rename ‘usp_sg_Cons_Data’ to
‘usp_sg_Cons_Data__201111081402’

Is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

DECLARE @oldname varchar(100), @newname varchar(100);
SET @oldname = 'usp_sg_Cons_Data'
SET @newname = @oldname + CONVERT(varchar(20), GETDATE(), 120)
EXEC sp_rename @oldname,@newname
