What are the benefits of using Stored Procedures?
- They help in reducing network traffic and latency which in turn boosts application performance.
- They assist in promoting code reuse.
- They provide better security to data.
- It's possible to encapsulate the logic using stored procedures. This allows to change stored procedure code without affecting clients.
- It's possible to reuse stored procedure execution plans that are cached in SQL Server's memory. This decreases server overhead.
