Presenting a complete guide to SQL/PSM (Persistent Stored Modules), this book explores the basic concepts and then presents the entire PSM standard in a way designed for "real world" use. It teaches application developers to use new SQL extensions that allow complex operations to be performed on the server in client-server environments. This, in turn, improves system performance and saves time.

Annotation Writing Stored Procedures for Microsoft SQL Server will focus on teaching the reader not only how to build effective stored procedures, but also on how to optimize and stream line them for long term use. The reader will be provided with an understanding of how SQL Server interprets stored procedures verses direct access via SQL queries. This will be followed by detailed instructions on creating and maintaining a repository of stored procedures. Once the reader knows how stored procedures are created and built, they will be taught how to determine which logic within an application makes sense to be put into this scheme. Additionally, they will be provided with guidance on making stored procedures that are portable across applications. Some of the specific topics covered in Writing Stored Procedures with Microsoft SQL Server will include How SQL Server interprets stored procedures and SQL statements, Designing, building, and implementing stored procedures, Creating stored procedures that can be used in multiple applications, Working with Indexes, Views and Triggers in stored procedures, Building business logic into stored procedures, "Componentizing" database access, and Accepting parameters in stored procedures.

This book is an A-Z guide to building and using stored procedures in SQL Server applications. With this book, developers can custom design stored procedures to write high-performance SQL Server applications that effectively can be maintained and scaled. They also will learn to administer SQL Server environments using Microsoft's system stored procedures. 20 line illustrations.

If you want to learn how to write stored procedures and triggers for Microsoft SQL Server, Code Centric: T-SQL Programming with Stored Procedures and Triggers is the book for you. Youll learn real-world coding and how to build non-trivial applications. All of the examples covered in the book are available for download, making it easier to work through over 5,000 lines of sample code. While there is extensive coverage of the new functionality in SQL Server 2000—such as UDFs (user-defined functions)—you can use this book effectively for virtually any version of SQL Server6.x, 7.0, or 2000.

The implementation of stored procedures in MySQL 5.0 a hugemilestone -- one that is expected to lead to widespread enterprise adoption ofthe already extremely popular MySQL database. If you are serious aboutbuilding the web-based database applications of the future, you need toget up to speed quickly on how stored procedures work -- and how tobuild them the right way. This book, destined to be the bible of storedprocedure development, is a resource that no real MySQL programmer canafford to do without. In the decade since MySQL burst on the scene, it has become thedominant open source database, with capabilities and performancerivaling those of commercial RDBMS offerings like Oracle and SQLServer. Along with Linux and PHP, MySQL is at the heart of millions ofapplications. And now, with support for stored procedures, functions,and triggers in MySQL 5.0, MySQL offers the programming power neededfor true enterprise use. MySQL's new procedural language has a straightforward syntax, making iteasy to write simple programs. But it's not so easy to write secure,easily maintained, high-performance, and bug-free programs. Few in theMySQL world have substantial experience yet with stored procedures, butGuy Harrison and Steven Feuerstein have decades of combined expertise. In MySQL Stored Procedure Programming, they putthat hard-won experience to good use. Packed with code examples and coveringeverything from language basics to application building to advancedtuning and best practices, this highly readable book is the one-stopguide to MySQL development. It consists of four major sections: MySQL stored programming fundamentals -- tutorial, basicstatements, SQL in stored programs, and error handling Building MySQL stored programs -- transaction handling,built-in functions, stored functions, and triggers MySQL stored programs in applications -- using storedprograms with PHP, Java, Perl, Python, and .NET (C# and VB.NET) Optimizing MySQL stored programs -- security, basic andadvanced SQL tuning, optimizing stored program code, and programmingbest practices A companion web site contains many thousands of lines of code, that youcan put to use immediately. Guy Harrison is Chief Architect of Database Solutions at Quest Softwareand a frequent speaker and writer on MySQL topics. Steven Feuerstein isthe author of Oracle PL/SQL Programming, the classic reference for Oracle stored programming for more than ten years. Both have decades of experience as database developers, and between them they have authored a dozen books.

Stored procedures can provide major benefits in the areas of application performance, code re-use, security, and integrity. DB2® has offered ever-improving support for developing and operating stored procedures. This IBM® RedpaperTM publication is devoted to tools that can be used for accelerating the development and debugging process, in particular to the stored procedure support provided by the latest and fastest evolving IBM product: Data Studio. We discuss topics related to handling stored procedures across different platforms. We concentrate on how to use tools for deployment of stored procedures on z/OS®, but most considerations apply to the other members of the DB2 family. This paper is a major update of Part 6, "Cool tools for an easier life," of the IBM Redbooks® publication DB2 9 for z/OS Stored Procedures: Through the CALL and Beyond, SG24-7604.

* Shows you how to write more effective stored procedures and functions * Concise, detailed advice from SQL Server experts * Tackles issues barely covered in existing books, such as optimizing and debugging, concurrency and transactions.
