• not suspicious; it sounds like a missing GO statement between drop create procedure and drop/create function in someones script.

    it happens to us all at some point

    IF OBJECT_ID('[dbo].[sp_Bad]') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Bad]

    GO

    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Bad] AS PRINT 1

    --Implied GO statment here is missing

    IF OBJECT_ID('[dbo].[sp_Bad2]') IS NOT NULL DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Bad2]

    GO

    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_Bad2] AS PRINT 1
