Describes what is a stored procedure - is an executable program that is stored in the database server.

What Is a Stored Procedure? A stored procedure is an executable program that is stored in the database server waiting to be called for execution. A stored procedure should be written in a programming language that is supported by the database server. Some database servers offer special languages that are extended from the standard SQL. For example:

PL/SQL - Stored procedure language for Oracle database server.
Transact SQL - Stored procedure language for MS SQL server.

Store procedure languages usually offer you statements to:

Receive and return data from the calling environment.
Declare and use local variables.
Execute regular SQL statements on the server.
Loop through a set of statements multiple times.
Conditionally control the execution flow.
