Shared Stored Procedures
Please refer to
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20517698/Database-Context-and-referencing-user-tables.html#7969124 "Database Context and referencing user tables"
I have a similar situation to the one in the question above.
I want to be able to share stored procedures between similarly structured databases, and the solution presented suits me fine, but....
1) I have created a few sample test stored procedures in Master, and now I want to either delete them, change them or rename them, but since they are marked system, I am not allowed to. How do I do that? (For obvious reasons there is no sp_unmarkSystem!)
2) I am unconfortable with resorting to the Master table to solve this. Is there another solution to this situation that does not use the Master Database?

Thanks Anthony.
I also had a look at that stored procedure.
In short, after reading through it, I prefered to seek advice here rather than stick my fingers into the Master Database....

I don't blame you. I would not do what you are doing in the first place, but that is just me ...
Here is Scott's solution to your problem:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20529165/SQL-System-Stored-Procedure-Maintenance.html
Notice how he is just fliping the bits back.
I would wait for his comment to award him the points.
P.S. Make sure you have a good backup of the Master database.

G'day Anthony:
Thanks for the link, and yes it works! (See my note at the end of that question)
I will wait for Scott before allocating points, but would also like to hear of alternatives that do not force my fingers to tremble when I type USE MASTER

Well, Scott never showed up, and there was nobody else to award the points to.....
