All those 4 procedures require the sysadmin fixed server role or CONTROL SERVER permission. What are the pros and cons of granting this level of permission to a user that's not a DBA? This is like opening Pandora's box :-). |

Instead you should consider using SQLCLR as some of the ones you listed are notorious for memory issues + security issues as well. Note that you can also shoot yourself in the foot with SQLCLR but I am NOT qualified to speak abt it. |
