Stored Procedures

A stored procedure is an executable object stored in a database. SQL Server supports:

  • Stored procedures

    One or more SQL statements that have been precompiled into a single executable procedure.

  • Extended stored procedures

    C or C++ dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) written to the SQL Server Open Data Services API for extended stored procedures. The Open Data Services API extends the capabilities of stored procedures to include C or C++ code.
