Stored procedures are called Persistent Stored Modules in the ANSI/ISO SQL:2008 standard. They are written in SQL and consist of a set of control and condition handling statements that make SQL a computationally complete programming language.
These features provide a server-based procedural interface to the database for application programmers.
Teradata stored procedure facilities are a subset of and conform to the ANSI/ISO SQL:2008 standards for semantics.
