SQL stored procedure is the prepared SQL code that is used to save time and can be reused over and over again. The stored procedure code is stored in the database and helps to get the required output by passing parameters. These stored procedures are used in PL/SQL or SQL SERVER.

PL/SQL is a block-structured query language that helps developers to combine the power of SQL with procedural statements.

SQL Stored Procedure

A stored procedure is the prepared SQL code that you can save so that the code can be reused over and over again.

So if you have the SQL query that you write over and over again, save it as the stored procedure, and then call it to execute it.

You can also pass parameters to a stored procedure so that the stored procedure can act based on the parameter value(s) that is passed.

The procedure can be a function or a method that can be invoked through  triggers, applications in java or PHP, etc.
