PROCEDURES
Execution Environment
• Code can be executed at two locations
• Client
• Server

• Advantages of client-side programming


• Can more easily serve users with vastly different needs
• Can avoid additional network traffic
• Can distribute processor load to local environments
• Can create better user-interface interaction

• Advantages of server-side programming


• Can more easily ensure uniform application of business rules
• Can update code more easily
What Are Stored Procedures?
A collection of T-SQL statements stored on the server

Stored Procedures Can:

• Accept input parameters


• Return output parameters or rowset
• Return a status value to indicate success or failure

Benefits of using Stored Procedures:

• Promotes modular programming


• Provides security attributes and permission chaining
• Allows delayed binding and code reuse
• Reduces network traffic
Types of Stored Procedures
• User-defined stored procedures
• User-defined procedures that must be explicitly called

• Triggers
• User-defined procedures that execute automatically when data in a given table is
modified

• System procedures
• Built in procedures that read or modify one or more system tables
Guidelines for Creating Stored
Procedures
Rules for designing stored procedures:

✔ Qualifying names inside of stored procedures

✔ Obfuscating procedure definitions

✔ SET statement options

✔ Naming conventions

✔ Execution Context

✔ Using @@nestlevel
Syntax for Creating Stored
Procedures
CREATE { PROC | PROCEDURE } [schema_name.] procedure_name [ ; number ]
[ { @parameter [ type_schema_name. ] data_type }
[ VARYING ] [ = default ] [ OUT | OUTPUT ] [READONLY]
] [ ,...n ]
[ WITH <procedure_option> [ ,...n ] ]
[ FOR REPLICATION ]
AS { <sql_statement> [;][ ...n ] | <method_specifier> }
[;]
<procedure_option> ::=
[ ENCRYPTION ]
[ RECOMPILE ]
[ EXECUTE_AS_Clause ]

<sql_statement> ::=
{ [ BEGIN ] statements [ END ] }
<method_specifier> ::=
EXTERNAL NAME assembly_name.class_name.method_name
Syntax for Altering Stored
Procedures
ALTER { PROC | PROCEDURE } [schema_name.] procedure_name [ ; number ]
[ { @parameter [ type_schema_name. ] data_type }
[ VARYING ] [ = default ] [ [ OUT [ PUT ] ] [ ,...n ]
[ WITH <procedure_option> [ ,...n ] ]
[ FOR REPLICATION ]
AS
{ <sql_statement> [ ...n ] | <method_specifier> }

<procedure_option> ::=
[ ENCRYPTION ]
[ RECOMPILE ]
[ EXECUTE_AS_Clause ]

<sql_statement> ::=
{ [ BEGIN ] statements [ END ] }

<method_specifier> ::=
EXTERNAL NAME
assembly_name.class_name.method_name
Syntax for Dropping Stored
Procedures
•DROP { PROC | PROCEDURE } { [ schema_name. ] procedure } [ ,...n ]

Removes one or more stored procedures or procedure groups from the current
database.
How Are Stored Procedures
Created?
Creating a Stored Procedure
CREATE PROCEDURE HumanResources.usp_GetEmployeesName
@NamePrefix char(1)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT BusinessEntityID, FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress
FROM HumanResources.vEmployee
WHERE FirstName LIKE @NamePrefix + '%'
ORDER BY FirstName
END

Calling a Stored Procedure


EXECUTE HumanResources.usp_GetEmployeesName 'A‘
Creating Parameterized Stored
Procedures
• Stored Procedure Parameters
• Table-valued Parameters
Passing Parameters
• Two methods for passing values to parameters:
• Passing by parameter position
• Passing by parameter name
Default Value
• A default value is a value assigned to a parameter for which no value has
been received from the exec statement
• Example:
create proc proc_state_authors
(@state char(2) = "CA")
as
select au_lname, au_fname, state
from authors
where state = @state
return
exec proc_state_authors -- No state value passed
au_lname au_fname state
-------- -------- -----
White Johnson CA
Green Marjorie CA

Guidelines for Handling
Exceptions
TRY/CATCH requirements:
Each TRY…CATCH construct must be inside a single batch
✔stored procedure, or trigger
A TRY block must be immediately followed by a CATCH
✔block

✔TRY…CATCH constructs can be nested


Implementing Triggers
• What Are Triggers?
• How an INSERT Trigger Works
• How a DELETE Trigger Works
• How an UPDATE Trigger Works
• How an INSTEAD OF Trigger Works
• How Nested Triggers Work
• Considerations for Recursive Triggers
What Are Triggers?
Triggers are:

Special stored procedures that execute when INSERT,


✔ UPDATE, or DELETE statements modify a table

✔
Part of a single transaction along with the
initiating statement

Two categories:
• AFTER triggers execute after an INSERT, UPDATE,
or DELETE statement
• INSTEAD OF triggers execute instead of an INSERT,
UPDATE, or DELETE statement
Creating Triggers
• Simplified syntax:
create trigger trigger_name
on table_name
for {insert | update | delete} [, {insert | update | delete} ...]
as
sql_statements
How an INSERT Trigger Works
1 INSERT statement executed

2 INSERT statement logged

3 AFTER INSERT trigger statements executed

create trigger trg_i_sales


on sales
for insert
as
SET NOCOUNT ON;
if datename (dw,getdate()) = "Sunday"
begin
raiserror 40070, "Sales cannot be
processed on Sunday."
rollback tran
return
end
How a DELETE Trigger Works
1 DELETE statement executed

2 DELETE statement logged

3 AFTER DELETE trigger statements executed

CREATE TRIGGER [delCategory] ON [Categories]


AFTER DELETE AS
BEGIN
UPDATE P SET [Discontinued] = 1
FROM [Products] P INNER JOIN deleted as d
ON
P.[CategoryID] = d.[CategoryID]
END;
How an UPDATE Trigger Works
1 UPDATE statement executed

2 UPDATE statement logged

3 AFTER UPDATE trigger statements executed

CREATE TRIGGER [updtProductReview] ON [Production].[ProductReview]


AFTER UPDATE NOT FOR REPLICATION AS
BEGIN
UPDATE [Production].[ProductReview]
SET [Production].[ProductReview].[ModifiedDate] =
GETDATE() FROM inserted
WHERE inserted.[ProductReviewID] =
[Production].[ProductReview].[ProductReviewID];
END;
How an INSTEAD OF Trigger
Works
1 UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE statement executed

2 Executed statement does not occur

3 INSTEAD OF trigger statements executed

CREATE TRIGGER [delEmployee] ON [HumanResources].[Employee]


INSTEAD OF DELETE NOT FOR REPLICATION AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @DeleteCount int;
SELECT @DeleteCount = COUNT(*) FROM deleted;
IF @DeleteCount > 0
BEGIN …
END;
END;
Dropping Triggers
• Simplified syntax:
drop trigger trigger_name
• Example:
drop trigger trg_i_sales
