This is a brief and very useful tutorial on creating and using stored procedures with your asp applications. A stored procedure is nothing more than an sql statement stored inside a database. The database can be SQL Server or MS Access as well as others. A stored procedure is compiled by your database (for the most part) one time, when it is entered. This results in faster database executions and overall performance updates, and it further separates the sql statement from your asp leaving you with more readable code. This tutorial describes: What is a stored procedure?, Writing stored procedures, Getting the stored procedure into the database, Calling stored procedures in ASP pages, and Modifying and removing stored procedures.
