What do you mean by Stored Procedures in SQL?

A stored procedure is a collection of SQL statements that can be used as a function to access the database. We can create these stored procedures earlier before using it and can execute them wherever required by applying some conditional logic to it. Stored procedures are also used to reduce network traffic and improve performance.

Syntax:

CREATE Procedure Procedure_Name
 (
 //Parameters
 )
 AS
 BEGIN
 SQL statements in stored procedures to update/retrieve records
 END
