DROP and CREATE vs ALTER

    Good morning everyone (it's morning in Arizona, anyway).

    I'm going to be preparing a single script to install several stored procedures. These procedures are revisions of existing ones.

    Is there any advantage to doing a DROP and CREATE versus ALTER?

    You lose any permissions that were on the object, if that can be called an advantage.

    Thanks Gail. No, I do not want to change/lose any permissions on these.
