Stored procedures, which are called Persistent Stored Modules in the ANSI SQL-92 specifications, consist of a set of control- and condition-handling statements that provide a procedural interface to the database. These statements are specified using the Stored Procedure Language (SPL).
A stored procedure can be created from ODBC and some other client utilities, and stored within the user database on the server. It can be executed using the SQL CALL statement.
