The sp_procoption system stored procedure is useful in setting the Stored Procedure for autoexecution – i.e it runs every time SQL Server service is started.
Here’s how to execute a Stored Procedure when SQL Server starts
EXEC sp_procoption @ProcName = 'usersp_CleanTables',
@OptionName = 'startup',
@OptionValue = 'true'
To disable the stored procedure again
EXEC sp_procoption @ProcName = 'usersp_CleanTables',
@OptionName = 'startup',
@OptionValue = 'false'
Note: For a Stored Procedure to be eligible to be executed when SQL Server starts, the stored procedure must be in the ‘master’ database and cannot contain INPUT or OUTPUT parameters.
Hi Thanks for sharing this. Similar to this, how I can execute a stored proc when SQL server shutdown.
