MySQL ALTER PROCEDURE: Modify The Stored Procedure

The ALTER PROCEDURE statement is used to change the characteristics of a stored procedure. However, it cannot change the parameters or body of a stored procedure. If you need to change the parameters or body, you must drop and recreate the procedure using DROP PROCEDURE and CREATE PROCEDURE.

Here's an example of how to use the ALTER PROCEDURE statement:

ALTER PROCEDURE procedure_name 
    SQL SECURITY {DEFINER | INVOKER}

In this statement, replace procedure_name with the name of the procedure you want to alter. The SQL SECURITY clause determines the security context, whether it's the user who defined the routine (DEFINER) or the user who invokes it (INVOKER).

For example, if you have a stored procedure named get_employee and you want to change its SQL security context to INVOKER, you would use the following command:

ALTER PROCEDURE get_employee 
    SQL SECURITY INVOKER

After executing this command, the get_employee procedure will be executed in the security context of the user who calls it.

Remember, only the owner of a stored procedure or a user with the ALTER ROUTINE privilege can alter a stored procedure. Also, the ALTER PROCEDURE statement only changes the metadata of the procedure, not the actual procedure code or parameters. To change the procedure code or parameters, you would need to drop and recreate the procedure.
