 ![Topic link icon](../../database-engine/configure-windows/media/topic-link.gif "Topic link icon") [Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions](../../t-sql/language-elements/transact-sql-syntax-conventions-transact-sql.md)  
  
## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_delete_notification  
     [ @alert_name = ] 'alert' ,   
     [ @operator_name = ] 'operator'   
```  
  
## Arguments  
 [ **@alert_name=** ] **'***alert***'**  
 The name of the alert. *alert* is **sysname**, with no default.  
  
 [ **@operator_name=** ] **'***operator***'**  
 The name of the operator. *operator* is **sysname**, with no default.  
  
## Return Code Values  
 **0** (success) or **1** (failure)  
  
## Result Sets  
 None  
  
## Remarks  
 Removing a notification removes only the notification; the alert and the operator are left intact.  
  
## Permissions  
 To run this stored procedure, users must be granted the **sysadmin** fixed server role.  
  
## Examples  
 The following example removes the notification sent to operator `François Ajenstat` when alert `Test Alert` occurs.  
  
```  
USE msdb ;  
GO  
  
EXEC dbo.sp_delete_notification  
    @alert_name = 'Test Alert',  
    @operator_name = 'François Ajenstat' ;  
GO  
```
