O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
Modifying Stored Procedures
You can modify the text of a stored procedure by using the ALTER PROCEDURE statement. The syntax for ALTER PROCEDURE is similar to the syntax for CREATE PROCEDURE (see Listing 25.11). Using ALTER PROCEDURE has a couple advantages over dropping and re-creating a procedure to modify it. The main advantage is that you don’t have to drop the procedure first to make the change, so it remains available, even if the ALTER PROCEDURE command fails due to a syntax or object reference error. The second advantage is that because you don’t have to drop the procedure, you don’t have to worry about reassigning permissions to it after modifying it.
