A CLR Procedure is a reference to a Microsoft .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR) method that can take and return user-supplied parameters.

New CLR procedures are created within Create CLR Procedure Wizard. In order to run the wizard you should either

•	select the Object \| Create Database Object... main menu item;

•	select the CLR Procedure icon in the Create Database Object dialog

•	select the CLR Procedures list or any object from that list in the explorer tree;

•	select the Create New CLR Procedure... item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the CLR Procedures tab there;

•	press the Insert key or select the Create New CLR Procedure... item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

To create a new CLR procedure with the same properties as one of the existing CLR procedures has:

•	select the Object \| Duplicate Database Object... main menu item;

•	follow the instructions of Duplicate Object Wizard.

CLR procedures can be edited within CLR Procedure Editor. In order to run the editor you should either

•	select the CLR procedure for editing in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the CLR procedure name for quick search);

•	select the Edit CLR Procedure ... item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the CLR Procedures tab there;

•	select the CLR procedure to edit;

•	press the Enter key or select the Edit CLR Procedure item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

You can change the name of the CLR procedure using the Rename CLR Procedure dialog. To open the dialog you should either

•	select the CLR procedure to rename in the explorer tree;

•	select the Rename CLR Procedure item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the CLR Procedures tab there;

•	select the CLR procedure to rename;

•	select the Rename CLR Procedure item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar).

To execute a CLR procedure:

•	select the CLR procedure in the explorer tree (type the first letters of the CLR procedure name for quick search);

•	select the Edit CLR Procedure ... item from the popup menu;

•	execute the CLR procedure using the Execute link of the Navigation Bar

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the CLR Procedures tab there;

•	select the CLR procedure to execute;

•	press the Enter key or select the Edit CLR Procedure item from the popup menu, or use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar;

•	execute the CLR procedure using the Execute link of the Navigation bar.

To drop a CLR procedure:

•	select the CLR procedure to drop in the explorer tree;

•	select the Drop CLR Procedure item from the popup menu

•	open the schema in Schema Editor and the CLR Procedures tab there;

•	select the CLR procedure to drop;

•	press the Delete key or select the Drop CLR Procedure item from the popup menu (alternatively, you may use the corresponding link of the Navigation Bar)

and confirm dropping in the dialog window.
