  • RE: Alter procedure and useing "grant execute" in the same query window against it - REQUIRE GO?

    Begins and ends just denote blocks of code in a stored proc.

    CREATE PROCEDURE BeginEnd

    AS

    SELECT 'Before Begin'

    BEGIN

    SELECT 'Number 1'

    END

    SELECT 'Number 2'

    END

    BEGIN

    SELECT 'Number 3'

    END

    SELECT 'After end'

    GO

    EXEC BeginEnd
