What is the difference between an SQLCommand and a Stored Procedure?

• SQLCommand: A SQL command is a string of SQL code (like SELECT, INSERT,

etc.) that is executed directly against the database.

• Stored Procedure: A precompiled collection of SQL statements that can be

executed as a unit. It can contain more complex logic, including control-of-flow and

error handling.

Example:

• SQL Command: SELECT * FROM Customers;
• Stored Procedure: EXEC GetCustomerDetails;
