Remarks
Executing sp_dropextendedproc drops the user-defined extended stored procedure name from the sys.objects catalog view and removes the entry from the sys.extended_procedures catalog view. This stored procedure can be run only in the master database.
In SQL Server 2012 sp_dropextendedproc does not drop system extended stored procedures. Instead, the system administrator should deny EXECUTE permission on the extended stored procedure to the public role.
sp_dropextendedproc cannot be executed inside a transaction.
Permissions
Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role can execute sp_dropextendedproc.
Examples
The following example drops the xp_hello extended stored procedure.
Note
This extended stored procedure must already exist, or the example will return an error message.
USE master;
GO
EXEC sp_dropextendedproc 'xp_hello';
