Remarks

The sp_delete_maintenance_plan_db stored procedure removes the association between the maintenance plan and the specified database; it doesn't drop or destroy the database.

When sp_delete_maintenance_plan_db removes the last database from the maintenance plan, the stored procedure also deletes the maintenance plan.
