CLR Stored Procedures: how to set the schema/owner?

Question

I am working on a Linq based CLR Stored Procedure for some complex filtering and manipulation, which would otherwise require a lot of messy and poorly performant T-SQL code, if implemented in a more "traditional" Stored Procedure.

This is working great, but I can't find how to set the schema of this Stored Procedure in phase of deployment, for a better organization and separation of the database objects in modules.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

When you create the procedure referencing the assembly you can create this wrapper being owned by any schema you want. See This MSDN article on deploying CLR stored procedures for a walkthrough of how to do deploy a stored procedure. By changing the create procedure statement to something like:

CREATE SCHEMA foo

CREATE PROCEDURE foo.hello
AS
EXTERNAL NAME helloworld.HelloWorldProc.HelloWorld

You can now have a procedure owned by the foo schema.
