Thanks for all the input guys!! So, using selects instead of the two stored
procedures I've made would be better? I ask that because when I call my SP in
other SP or triggers, the sintax is very short and easy. Your advice is that I
should replace my SP for a select anyway? Are the selects less overwhelming for
the engine than the SPs?

I will make little test app and try to see if I can notice the speed difference!

Thank you very much!!
