Subject Good DB design: When to use stored procedures?
Author Zd
Hi,

I've read in the FB papers that using stored procedures is highly recommended because it optimizes network traffic and makes query execution faster.

The question is:
I have over 50 tables in my DB and a lot of different queries acessing them in different ways. If I started making stored procedures for each dynamic query I'm executing now from my program, I'd end up with 200 stored procedures at least.

So is it a good idea to put EVERYTHING into stored procedures (like even a simple update or insert into statement which puts a few rows to the DB)?

Thanks:
Zd
