Thanks Paul,

I will be sure to test this before moving the production servers

which I know is bad. The object in use should only happen if there is
an active transaction that has referenced that procedure.

crashed and now 30 customers cant access their databases', but yes
that would be very annoying when it comes to upgrades.
