Microsoft SQL can be confusing. There are a TON of features, options, and settings to consider when attempting to use it. One of my favorite features is stored procedures. These pre-compiled queries allow you to safely and securely access and modify data. In this video, you will learn the basics of how to build a stored procedure, as well as what the benefits and drawbacks of stored procedures are. You will also learn some best practices, including how to secure your entire database in just a few simple commands.
