SPs are great. SPs are a PITA somewhere between those two statements will be your experience. Some DBAs demand only SP consumption of data or you do not have read writes to tables and views. SPs can help you from code injection that can screw your system. If all of your data access is dynamic you may let outsiders inject bad text that can destroy your db. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
