III) Stored Procedure / Function Handling

This includes with calling a procedure / function that is created at

backend database from frontend application. The procedures / functions can be created using PL/SQL at database. PL/SQL is supported by Sql Server, Oracle and MySql.

Purpose of Stored Procedures / Functions:

API:

To implement complex database logics. To retrieve multiple tables data at-a-time, with a single database call. To perform multiple query / non-query operations. To hide query / non-query statements in the code.

Connection: Maintains the connection with database. Command: Calls a database procedure / function. Parameter: Represents the argument value for the procedure /

function.
