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

Just throwing my little advice here. Before SQL 2005 (maybe even farther than that), SP were faster. However, SQL Server 2005 and up are really optimized and they cache your queries as you go. In fact, we had a web application transfered to a new SQL server. The application started by running slowing for everyone. Everything was taking "3/4 of a second" or 1 second to run. Then SQL started compiling the most used query and everything went from slow to blazing fast.

Of course, we swapped the server while there was a lot of people running on it (which can explain why it was slow at first). But trust me. SP are not over. They just have other uses than being tied to an application.
