SQL Stored Procedures

When discussing SQL stored procedures, focus on your understanding of their purpose and advantages in database management, such as encapsulation of logic and improved performance. Be prepared to explain how stored procedures can enhance security by controlling data access and reducing the risk of SQL injection. Discuss scenarios where you would choose to use a stored procedure over inline SQL queries, and be ready to outline the process of creating, executing, and debugging a stored procedure. Additionally, consider mentioning best practices for writing efficient and maintainable stored procedures, including error handling and parameterization.
