Remarks
Microsoft® SQL Server™ supports modifications to the definition of existing objects by using the Transact-SQL ALTER FUNCTION, ALTER PROCEDURE, ALTER TRIGGER, and ALTER VIEW statements. SQL-DMO implements execution of these statements through the Alter method of StoredProcedure, Trigger, and View objects.
Modifying a SQL Server database object by using the Alter method requires appropriate permissions. The SQL Server login used for SQLServer object connection must be mapped to a database user identified as the object owner or a member of a role with greater permissions.
