What is Stored procedure

The stored procedure is bundle of T-SQL statement which is compiled and stored as object under the database. It can accept the parameter as arqument and it will avoid the network traffic. When it executes the first time it will create the execution plan and for all the subsequent request it will use the same execution plan. So the execution time will be fast when compare with the inline queries.

You can query the stored procedures list from the following query.
SELECT * FROM SYS.PROCEDURES

It has some advantages like
-Avoid sql injection
-Fast execution compare to the inline queries
-Multiple application can use the same procedures
-Permission can be set the stored procedure
-Business logics in the procedure can be changed with out modifying the source code and redeployment.

Hi Abhi,

Its nothing but a set of T-SQL statements combined to perform a single task of several tasks. Its basically like a Macro so when you invoke the Stored Procedure, you actually

run a set of statements. Stored Procedure are the precompiled set of sql command.

Stored procedures means containing a precompiled block of code. if we call stored procedures they need not compiled, only execution takes place. With this advantage, work on database is less.

Hello Abhi,

Have you ever written SQL statements, like inserts, selects, and updates? Then you have already written most of a stored procedure. A stored procedure is an already written SQL statement that is saved in the database. If you find yourself using the same query over and over again, it would make sense to put it into a stored procedure. When you put this SQL statement in a stored procedure, you can then run the stored procedure from the database's command environment .
