Delete a Stored Procedure

Delete a stored procedure by ID or fully qualified name. Supports soft delete (default), hard delete, and restore operations.

Delete by ID

id · string · required

UUID of the stored procedure to delete.

recursive · boolean · default: "false"

Recursively delete child entities.

hardDelete · boolean · default: "false"

Permanently delete the stored procedure. If false, the stored procedure is soft-deleted and can be restored.

Delete by Name

Use DELETE /v1/storedProcedures/name/{fqn} to delete by fully qualified name.

fqn · string · required

Fully qualified name of the stored procedure (e.g., snowflake_prod.analytics.public.usp_refresh_analytics).

recursive · boolean · default: "false"

Recursively delete child entities.

hardDelete · boolean · default: "false"

Permanently delete the stored procedure.

Restore a Soft-Deleted Stored Procedure

Use PUT /v1/storedProcedures/restore to restore a soft-deleted stored procedure.

id · string · required

UUID of the soft-deleted stored procedure to restore.

DELETE /v1/storedProcedures/{id}
