In this post, I will explain
advantages of using Stored Procedure in SQL Server.
A Stored Procedure is a group
of SQL statements that have been created and stored in the database. A Stored Procedure will accept input parameters so that a single procedure can be used
over the network by several clients using different input data. If we modify a Stored Procedure all the clients will get the updated Stored Procedure.
Syntax of creating Stored
Procedure-
CREATE PROCEDURE procedurename
@parameter datatype
AS
Body
of the stored procedure (SQL Statements)
Advantages of using Stored
Procedure-
- Stored Procedure can reduce network traffic, boosting application
performance.
- Stored Procedure execution plans can be reused, staying cached in
SQL Server's memory, reducing server overhead.
- Stored Procedures help promote code reuse.
- Stored Procedures can encapsulate logic. You can change stored
procedure code without affecting clients.
- Stored Procedures provide better security to your data.
