Stored procedures conceptually:


  • A stored procedure is a collection and set of sql statements and sql command logic which is compiled and stored in the database. A stored procedure is one kind of database object which is available under programmability section.
  • These are called the named blocks in TSQL.


Advantage of using Stored Procedure:

Reusability: It helps in re usability of the SQL code because it can be used by multiple users and by multiple clients since we need to just call the stored procedure instead of writing the same SQL statement every time. It helps in reducing the development time.

Function based access to tables: A user can have permissions to execute a stored procedure without having permission to operate directly on the underlying tables.

Reduced network traffic: Stored procedures can consists of many individual SQL queries but can be executed with a single statement. This allows us to reduce the number and size of calls from the client to server.

Faster Execution: SP query plan are kept in memory after the first execution. The code doesn't have to be reparsed and repotimized on subsequent executions.

Stored procedure can accepts input and output parameters. Stored procedure can returns multiple values using output parameters. Using stored procedure, we can Select,Insert,Update,Delete data in database.

CLUSTERED INDEX VS NON CLUSTERED INDEX Clustered Index Only one clustered index can be there in a table because of the sorted order Sort the records and store them physically according to the order Data retrieval is faster than non-clustered indexes Do not need extra space to store logical structure A primary key by default creates a clustered index on it. Non Clustered Index There can be any number of non-clustered indexes in a table because of the number of unique keys we can create. Do not affect the physical order. Create a logical order for data rows and use pointers to physical data files Data insertion/update is faster than clustered index Use extra space to store logical structure A unique key/keys by dafault created an unclustered index on it. In Depth Explanation: Clustered Technically speaking, a clustered index is a B-Tree data structure where all the rows in a table are stored at the leaf level of the index. In other words, a clustered ind

SQL JOINS Tutorial: INNER, OUTER, LEFT, RIGHT, CROSS What are JOINS? Joins help retrieving data from two or more database tables. The tables are mutually related using primary and foreign keys. id first_name last_name movie_id 1 Adam Smith 1 2 Ravi Kumar 2 3 Susan Davidson 5 4 Jenny Adrianna 8 6 Lee Pong 10 id title category 1 ASSASSIN'S CREED: EMBERS Animations 2 Real Steel(2012) Animations 3 Alvin and the Chipmunks Animations 4 The Adventures of Tin Tin Animations 5 Safe (2012) Action 6 Safe House(2012) Action 7 GIA 18+ 8 Deadline 2009 18+ 9 The Dirty Picture 18+ 10 Marley and me Romance   Types of joins Cross JOIN Cross JOIN is a simplest form of JOINs which matches each row from one database table to all rows of another. In other words it gives us combinations of each row of first table with all records in second table. Suppose we want to get all member records against all the movie records, we can use the script shown below to ge

ANSI_NULL and QUOTED_IDENTIFIER: ANSI_NULL: When ever we are creat ing   or altering th e  SQL objects like the Stored Procedure s   and the User Defined Functions at t h at time   most of us use this.  Let us  understand this better with an example let us create a table and insert some records, CREATE   TABLE  #Demo ( FName  VARCHAR ( 200 ), LName  Varchar ( 200 ) ) Insert  #Demo  values ( 'Ravi' , 'Shekhar' ) Insert  #Demo  values ( 'Isha' ,NULL ) Insert  #Demo  values ( 'Santosh' , 'Thakur' )   SQL Server tend s to  behave differently when ever we use either  the  SET ANSI_NULL ON or the OFF . SET ANSI_NULL ON; If the ANSI_NULL is on then the comparison with NULL value with = or <> returns false. SET   ANSI_NULLS   ON SELECT   *   FROM  #Demo  WHERE  LName  =   NULL SELECT   *   FROM  #Demo  WHERE  LName  <>   NULL The  a bove query returns No result just  because  of the ANSI_NULL was ON. In such a
