As we all know stored procedures are pre-defined sets of SQL statements or procedural code, stored right within your database.

They are stored and managed within the database itself, making them available for repeated use by multiple applications or users. Plus, they amp up your database's security.

Here's an example of a simple stored procedure written in SQL Server:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetProductById
      @ProductId INT
AS
BEGIN
   SELECT * FROM Product WHERE ProductId = @ProductId
END;

Once the stored procedure is created, you can call it like this:

EXEC GetProductById @ProductId = 287

Here are some key features and benefits of using stored procedures:

• Reusability: It can be called and executed multiple times from different parts of an application or by various users, reducing code duplication.

• Security: Stored procedures can be used to contain sensitive SQL logic, providing a controlled and secure way to interact with the database.

• Performance: Stored procedures are pre-compiled and stored in the database, which can improve performance.

• Abstraction: Using stored procedures can help it easier to maintain and modify the database schema without affecting the application logic.

• Maintenance and versioning: Changes to the database logic can be done centrally in the stored procedures, making it easier to manage versioning.

Overall take your database operations to the next level with Stored Procedures by Empowering your applications, simplifying maintenance, and improving performance.
