Add a Stored Procedure for a Table or View

You can add a new stored procedure in a physical model using the Stored Procedure Editor. The order in which you add stored procedures to your model is important. The stored procedure code is generated according to the order the stored procedures display in the Stored Procedure Editor. You can change this order at any time by using the up and down arrow buttons on the Object Creation Order tab in the Stored Procedure Editor.
