What is the difference between views and stored procedures?
Can we have input parameters for views?
Answer Posted / chandana sriram
Well both of them aren't even compatible to compare and
tell the difference. They both belong to different paradigm
of database world. Anyways, here are the definitions I
would give you. A stored procedure is a set of sql
statements which can be called a subroutine to access
relational database systems. Its actually stored in a
daatabase. They are mainly used for faster access(Pre-
compilation of SQL statements) ,Simplification of data
management and for security.
A view as my friends have elucidated above is a virtual or
logical table that holds result set of a pre-defined query.
The data for these views are not stored in the database.
There are two types of view read only and updatable. You
can modify a read only view with an INSTEAD OF trigger.
Hope that makes sense :-)
