Stored Procedures - End of days

Question

I’m listening to the Hanselminutes Podcast; \"StackOverflow uses ASP.NET MVC - Jeff Atwood and his technical team\". During the course of the Podcast they are speaking about SQL

Answer 1

It also depends on what your stored procedures are doing.

For example if it's just

select a from b where x = y

then a stored procedure is probably overkill. But I personally tend to use stored procs to return multiple result sets and page results within the database.

In my cases I can see a benefit to using them. It is an extra layer to deal with but if you have your code well organised and logical I don't see too much hassle personally.

A good project with stored procedures is always going to be better than a shoddy project without and vice versa.
