What are the advantages of using stored procedures?

• Performance: Stored procedures are precompiled, so execution is faster compared

to running individual SQL queries each time.

• Code Reusability: Once defined, stored procedures can be reused in multiple

places, reducing redundancy.

• Security: You can grant users permission to execute a stored procedure without

giving them direct access to the underlying tables.

• Maintainability: Centralizing business logic in stored procedures makes

maintenance easier, especially when making changes to the logic.

• Error Handling: Stored procedures allow you to include error-handling mechanisms

like TRY...CATCH in SQL Server or EXCEPTION in PostgreSQL.
