• My 02c... Pruning is a good idea, but you need to be sure. it's a pay me now or pay me later deal, if not pruning put them in a different schema, 'cause they are a distraction and could lead someone down a wrong path when troubleshooting or changing an application.

    Another time they could be a distraction is when a new DBA or developer is looking at a system/making changes and grabs the wrong sproc, and spends hours trying to figure out what's wrong.

    the ideal situation is when a sproc is no longer used/needed it's deleted then (by the person who created the replacement sproc/deleted the job/ etc.)

    Anyway, thats been my experience...
