SQL SERVER – Stored Procedures Advantages and Best Advantage

 There are many advantages of Stored Procedures. I was once asked what do I think is the most important feature of Stored Procedure? I have to pick only ONE. It is tough question.

I answered : Execution Plan Retention and Reuse (SP are compiled and their execution plan is cached and used again to when the same SP is executed again)

Not to mentioned I received the second question following my answer : Why? Because all the other advantage known (they are mentioned below) of SP can be achieved without using SP. Though Execution Plan Retention and Reuse can only be achieved using Stored Procedure only.

  • Execution plan retention and reuse
  • Query auto-parameterization
  • Encapsulation of business rules and policies
  • Application modularization
  • Sharing of application logic between applications
  • Access to database objects that is both secure and uniform
  • Consistent, safe data modification
  • Network bandwidth conservation
  • Support for automatic execution at system start-up
  • Enhanced hardware and software capabilities
  • Improved security
  • Reduced development cost and increased reliability
  • Centralized security, administration, and maintenance for common routines

SQL SERVER – Fix : Error 1702 CREATE TABLE failed because column in table exceeds the maximum of columns

  Error 1702 CREATE TABLE failed because column in table exceeds the maximum of columns SQL Server 2000 supports table with maximum 1024 columns.

Q- What will be the result of the query below? Explain your answer and provide a version that behaves correctly. select case when null = null then 'Yup' else 'Nope' end as Result; Ans-This query will actually yield “Nope”, seeming to imply that  null  is not equal to itself! The reason for this is that the proper way to compare a value to  null  in SQL is with the  is  operator, not with  = . Accordingly, the correct version of the above query that yields the expected result (i.e., “Yup”) would be as follows: select case when null is null then 'Yup' else 'Nope' end as Result;
