sys.numbered_procedures (Transact-SQL)

[!INCLUDE sql-asdbmi-asa-pdw-fabricse-fabricdw]

Contains a row for each SQL Server stored procedure that was created as a numbered procedure. This does not show a row for the base (number = 1) stored procedure. Entries for the base stored procedures can be found in views such as sys.objects and sys.procedures.

Important

Numbered procedures are deprecated. Use of numbered procedures is discouraged. A DEPRECATION_ANNOUNCEMENT event is fired when a query that uses this catalog view is compiled.

Column name	Data type	Description
object_id	int	ID of the object of the stored procedure.
procedure_number	smallint	Number of this procedure within the object, 2 or greater.
definition	nvarchar(max)	The SQL Server text that defines this procedure. NULL = encrypted.

XML and CLR parameters are not supported for numbered procedures.
