Alter Procedure

Usage

ALTER PROCEDURE <schemaname>.<procedurename>( ... ) [ RETURNS ( ... ) ] [ OWNER <owner_name>] [EXECUTE AS <executor> ] AS BEGIN <procedure code> END

Syntax Rules

• The ALTER block should not include CREATE VIRTUAL PROCEDURE;
• Do not use VIRTUAL as in CREATE VIRTUAL PROCEDURE;
• The ALTER block may be prefixed with a cache hint for cached procedures;
• Parameters and return values will be used as given in the ALTER PROCEDURE command, so they may not be omitted if they should be kept;
• OWNER of a procedure can be changed only by admins. EXECUTE AS has CALLER or OWNER as a possible value and can only be changed by the owner or admins.

Example

ALTER PROCEDURE views.dateaxis() returns (xdate date) OWNER 'test_user' EXECUTE AS CALLER as  
BEGIN
 SELECT current_date;
END;;

Permission management, i.e. owner and executor for procedure can be modified by using procedure SYSADMIN.changeResourceOwnerAndExecutor().
