Hi,

I have this table with 40 fields and I'm to write a stored procedure to retrieve around 30 fields based on the id passed (it can be one or more than one records).

I have 5 different sections, that will use the result set.

My question, is it advisable to write one stored procedure to get all the 30, or can i write 5 stored procedures for each section.

What are the pros and cons of using one single stored procedure and 5 stored procedures based on the section need (though the information is from the same table).

Thanks for any information.

You use one SP instead of five SP. Because when you are using five SP then there will be performance overhead and at the same time it will become complicated.

Hi

single procedure is fine what malay said.

Procedure we can able to control the flow. so you can control your sections in procedure.

why cant you rewrite them into single procedure giving all sections...may be based on parameter.

You could run some peformance tests. But, one call to the database should be more performant than five calls to get the same data.
