你的编程语言和应用程序框架可能是:

高级的，特别是与SQL相比 易于通过自动化流程进行版本和部署，特别是与SQL相比

如果这两个条件是两个，则跳过存储过程。

我还没有找到一种在源代码控制中轻松维护存储过程的好方法，使其与代码库一样无缝。这是不会发生的。仅这一点就使得在代码中添加SQL对我来说是值得的。在现代系统中，性能差异可以忽略不计。

Something that I haven't seen mentioned thus far: the people who know the database best aren't always the people that write the application code. Stored procedures give the database folks a way to interface with programmers that don't really want to learn that much about SQL. Large--and especially legacy--databases aren't the easiest things to completely understand, so programmers might just prefer a simple interface that gives them what they need: let the DBAs figure out how to join the 17 tables to make that happen.

话虽如此，用于编写存储过程的语言(PL/SQL就是一个臭名昭著的例子)是相当残酷的。它们通常不提供您在当今流行的命令式语言、OOP或函数式语言中看到的任何细节。认为COBOL。

因此，请坚持使用仅抽象了关系细节的存储过程，而不是那些包含业务逻辑的存储过程。

Definitely easier to maintain if you put it in a stored procedure. If there's difficult logic involved that will potentially change in the future it is definitely a good idea to put it in the database when you have multiple clients connecting. For example I'm working on an application right now that has an end user web interface and an administrative desktop application, both of which share a database (obviously) and I'm trying to keep as much logic on the database as possible. This is a perfect example of the DRY principle.

对于Microsoft SQL Server，您应该尽可能使用存储过程来帮助执行计划缓存和重用。为什么要优化计划重用?因为生成执行计划的成本相当高。

Although the caching and reuse of execution plans for ad-hoc queries has improved significantly in later editions of SQL server (especially 2005 and 2008) there are still far fewer issues with plan reuse when dealing with stored procedures than there are for ad-hoc queries. For example, SQL server will only re-use an execution plan if the plan text matches exactly - right down to comments and white space, for example, if each of the following lines of SQL were to be executed independently, none of them would use the same execution plan:

SELECT MyColumn FROM MyTable WHERE id = @id
select MyColumn from MyTable WHERE id = @id
SELECT MyColumn  FROM MyTable WHERE id = @id
SELECT MyColumn FROM MyTable WHERE id = @id -- "some comment"
SELECT MyColumn FROM MyTable WHERE id = @id -- "some other comment"

除此之外,如果你不显式地指定类型的参数然后有一个好的机会,SQL Server可能出错,例如如果您执行上面的查询与输入4,然后用@ id查询SQL Server将parametrise SMALLINT(或可能是一个非常小的整数),所以如果你然后执行相同的查询@ id的说4000,SQL Server将parametrise INT,而不会重用相同的缓存。

我认为还有其他一些问题，老实说，大多数问题都可以解决——特别是在SQL Server的后续版本中，但是存储过程通常会提供更多的控制。

程序员希望代码在他们的应用程序中，DBA希望它在数据库中。

如果你两者都有，你可以通过使用存储过程在两者之间分配工作，程序员不必担心所有这些表如何连接在一起等(对不起，我知道你想控制一切。)

我们有一个第三方应用程序，它允许在数据库中的视图或存储过程上创建自定义报告。如果我把代码中的所有逻辑都放在另一个应用程序中，就不能重用它。如果你使用数据库编写所有的应用程序，这不是问题。
