What is stored procedures

Question

Explain what is meant by the term stored procedures?

Answer 1

A stored procedure refers to the named collection of SQL statements and procedural logic which is compiled, verified and stored within the server database. It is normally treated just like any other database object. Stored procedures accept the input parameters so that single procedure may be used over the network through multiple clients utilizing different input data. A single remote message invokes the execution of collection of the stored SQL statements. The results include the reduction of network traffic and better performance.
