How to create a temporary Stored Procedure using TempDB

29 September,2015 by Tom Collins

Question:  I have to execute a stored procedure for troubleshooting – but permanent stored procedures are disallowed. Is there a way to create a  temporary stored procedure - ?

Answer: Yes, you can create a temporary stored procedure in SQL Server , using tempdb. There are two options. A stored procedure available only to your session and a stored procedure available to more than your session

Option 1 – Stored Procedure available only for your session

CREATE PROC #myStoredProcedure

If another session attempts to execute the stored procedure , the user will see a “cannot find the stored procedure” message.

 

Option 2 – Stored Procedure available to more than your session

CREATE PROC ##ourStoredProcedure

Restrictions on compiling permanent stored procedures can be a problem – but often there a good security reasons . Speak to the DBA about other workarounds.
