7+IM+Lab+Stored+Procedures+and+Functions
Objectives:
• Understand the concept of stored procedures and functions.
• Learn how to create and use them for data manipulation.
Lab Activities:
1. Creating stored procedures to perform data manipulation tasks.
2. Writing user-defined functions for custom calculations.
3. Calling stored procedures and functions from queries.
Creating stored procedures in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) is a fundamental skill
for performing data manipulation tasks and automating database operations. Here are the steps
to create stored procedures using SSMS:
You can execute the stored procedure by calling it in a query window. For example:
EXEC GetCustomers;
To modify an existing stored procedure, you can right-click it in Object Explorer and
select "Modify." Make your changes and execute the modified code.
You can create stored procedures with parameters to make them more flexible and
reusable. Parameters allow you to pass values to the procedure when you execute it.
Here's an example:
To execute a parameterized stored procedure, you provide the parameter value when
calling it:
EXEC GetCustomerByID @CustomerID = 123;
Creating stored procedures in SQL Server using SSMS allows you to encapsulate data
manipulation logic and provides a way to execute complex tasks with a single call. It's an
essential skill for database developers and administrators.
