What is a stored procedure?

A stored procedure is SQL code that has been prepared and may be saved and reused. To put it another way, a stored procedure is a function that consists of a number of SQL statements that are used to access the database system. We may combine several SQL statements into a stored procedure and run it whenever and wherever we need it.

A stored procedure may be used to provide modular programming; that is, we can write it once, save it, then call it as many times as needed. When opposed to doing several queries, this allows for quicker execution.
