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.
