Creating a stored procedure means saving SQL logic inside the database for reuse.
It allows executing multiple statements together.
This improves code organization.
Before creating a procedure, the database must be selected.
Procedures can include SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
They help reduce application-side SQL.
Stored procedures can accept input parameters.
Parameters make procedures dynamic.
This allows reusable logic.
The CREATE PROCEDURE command defines a procedure.
DELIMITER is used to separate procedure blocks.
BEGIN and END contain SQL logic.
Stored procedures are stored permanently in the database.
They can be reused by multiple applications.
This improves maintainability and performance.
