Yes, the CREATE or ALTER PROCEDURE statement must be the first statement in a query batch. This is because the CREATE or ALTER PROCEDURE statement creates or modifies a stored procedure, which is a named set of SQL statements that can be executed as a single unit.

If you try to put the CREATE or ALTER PROCEDURE statement anywhere else in the query batch, you will get an error.

The following is an example of a query batch that creates a stored procedure:

SQL

CREATE PROCEDURE my_procedure (
  @param1 int,
  @param2 varchar(255)
) AS
BEGIN
  -- Code for the stored procedure goes here.
END;

The CREATE PROCEDURE statement must be the first statement in the query batch. The BEGIN and END statements are used to delimit the body of the stored procedure. The @param1 and @param2 variables are parameters that can be passed to the stored procedure when it is executed.
