grouping stored procedures

  • Hi,

    I am writing an rather large application that is going to be database driven. I am going to have about 30 stored procedures and i want to group them in a way that corresponds to each section of my applcation.

    Is there a way to group stored procedures together? Kind of like the way Oracle has packages?

    Thanks for you help.

  • All things are relative!! I don't call 30 stored procedures a large application, even mine with 750 stored procedures is not particularly big I don't think.

    The short answer I believe is no. The simplest way is to name them such that they appear together in the EM...just don't let them start with sp_ ...

    Regards

  • I agree 30 isnt a lot, but it can grow over time. I just use a naming convention, usp_tablename_whatdoes it do for access procs, usp_group_whatdoesitdo for specialized stuff. There is a way to group stored procs so that you can drop all in one shot - look at the ';1' syntax in BOL. Not worth using in my opinion.

  • Same here.

    We try to add a prefix to 'all' the objects in our database, to indicate the owner-module of the object.
