Views Vs Stored Procedures, Whats The Difference?
Jan 27, 2006
The purpose for my questions is accessing these technologies from
applications. I develop both applications and databases. Working with
Microsoft C#.NET and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Production and 2005 Test
Environments.
What is the purpose of a view if I can just copy the vode from a view
and put it into a stored procedure?
Should I be accessing views from stored procedures?
Should I use views to get information? and Stored Procedures for
Inserts, Updates and Deletes?
What are the performance differences between the two?
Thank you for any and all information.

Good evening:Can anyone give me the low-down on using view from within my stored procedures? I've got some rather complex views that join multiple tables resulting in a staggering SQL query. I then use stored procedures to accept input parameters to determine order by and direction clauses. This results in some rather large "IF ELSE IF ELSE IF..." statements in my SP. Put a complicated SQL query together with lots of IF THEN and it becomes difficult to keep stuff straight in the SP. Therefore, using the view to keep my SQL in one place is an ideal solution. However, and here's the question, does it have a negative impact on speed and/or scalability. We plan to use these SP's within an ASP.NET website that may get a very large amount of traffic. Any advice/help you can give me would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I have been having troubling getting at views and stored proceduers with ADO objects while developing in VB.
I can get a list of the views and stored procedures, but I don't know how to actually get the text values of them... i would like the text so that I can parse/compare them agianst one another...
Any thoughts or help on this?
I would really appreciate the help!

Hello,
This maybe a simple question, I'm using reporting services to make a report, question is can I write a stored procedure that queries from a join of two views instead of two tables?
I'm having trouble getting my table data into the reportable state I want it, and I think organising into views might be easier.
Thanks for any help.

Hi everybody,I am trying to alter a view inside a Stored Procedure and sql server is not allowing me to do so.Can we not have an alter view inside a Stored Procedure?Here is the code: CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.[UPDATE_VIEW_LINEITEMALLOTMENT] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here@MAINID int,@BE VARCHAR(8)ASBEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements. --SET NOCOUNT ON; ALTER VIEW [Budget_Management_System].[dbo].[LineItem_OCAFund] AS SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT SUM(dbo.ALL_OCAFUND.AMOUNT) AS Expr2, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINENUM, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.PC, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.CATEGORY, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.ROWID, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.MAINID FROM dbo.APP_LINEITEM INNER JOIN dbo.ALL_ORG ON dbo.APP_LINEITEM.ROWID = dbo.ALL_ORG.LINEITEMID INNER JOIN dbo.ALL_OCAFUND ON dbo.ALL_ORG.ROWID = dbo.ALL_OCAFUND.ORGID INNER JOIN dbo.APP_AMENDMENT ON dbo.ALL_ORG.AMENDMENTID = dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.ROWID AND dbo.ALL_OCAFUND.AMENDMENTID = dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.ROWID GROUP BY dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINEORDER, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.BE, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.MAINID, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINENUM, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.PC, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.CATEGORY, dbo.APP_LINEITEM.ROWID, dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.AMENDMENTORDER HAVING (dbo.APP_LINEITEM.BE = @BE) AND (dbo.APP_LINEITEM.MAINID = @MAINID) AND (dbo.APP_AMENDMENT.AMENDMENTORDER = 1) ORDER BY dbo.APP_LINEITEM.LINEORDER ENDthanks a lot,Murthy here

I do all my data access through stored procedures. Is there any benefit in creating views that the stored procedure accesses. At the moment, I tend to just write the select and join within the stored procedure.

I have two databases named A and B. They are exactly same table structure, but the records are different, and we have near 400 stored procedures and over100 views in the database A. Now my question is that how can I transfer all stored procedures and views from database A to database B?
Thank you very much!

Hi All,
Novice question. Would someone explain tell me what a view is used for? Also I am confused about the difference between a function and a stored procedure. They both seem like functions to me.

Please could someone explain to me the differences between a storedprocedure and a view.The reason for this question is I have two almost identical ASP pages.Both get the same results but one uses a stored procedure and one usesa view. If the query returns no results the 'view page' generateserrors and therefore I have to check for BOF and EOF, whereas the'stored procedure page' does not generate errors and instead wouldappear to return a recordset with 0 entries.Thanks in advanceNeil.

Can Microsoft Access access a stored procedure on the SQL Server? If not, is there any way to assign a parameter to a view? I can link to a view in Access, but I cannot link to a procedure. I need to SELECT * from aTable WHERE ID = [@PassidInID]. Any way to do this through Access? The reason for this, is because I am trying to run an existing query (which is very busy - using other queries with queries in them etc.), and I keep getting an ODBC error. I am thinking that if I move the queries to the SQL Server, it may get rid of this error?
It's a 2-tier app I have. Tables on the server, forms, queries, and everything else in Access.
Thanks in advance - I hope.

Hello Everybody,
I posted this same question couple of times in the news groups but no answers. I have a 2 tables and i am doing a union query using a view. each has 250 rows. The query takes 20 seconds to return the results. no joins or anything. the create view simply looks like this:
create view myview as
select id, name from table1
union
select id,name from table2
Where as if i write a stored procedure like below, it returns the rows in 4 seconds.
create table #mytable
( id int, name varchar(30))
insert into #mytable (id, name) select id, name from table1
insert into #mytable (id, name) select id, name from table2
select id,name from #mytable.
I prefer doing in the view since both returns the same result. I tried running dbcc, update statistics. but no luck. Can anyone please help me in this issue.
Thanks
Ramesh

I have a multiple table dataset that needs to be returned, with at least 5 joins, some inner, some left outer.
Currently, this is done via a parameterized stored prodedure, which is used fairly frequently. The parameters only affect the where clause, not the joins.
Would it be better to create the view with the joins already done, then pass in the parameters with the stored procedure? Which is better for overall performance? Which is better for quicker response times to the calling asp.net application?
Thanks in advance,
Leah

This is a general question regarding the use of view and storedprocedures. I'm fairly new to databases and SQL.I've created a SQL database using an Access Data Project ("ADP") andI'm satified with the table structure. I've moved on to building somefront ends for our users.I'm running into situations where I want subreports to be built fromqueries [views or stored procedures-I don't know which to use so I usethe term query] that are dependent on the values in other controls.I've played with stored procedures and I've figured out how to sendcriteria to a stored procedure and then dynamically change the recordsource of a subreport.However, I'm running into cases where I can't add records to theresults of a stored procedure. The table I'm running a stored procedureon has five fields: (1) Primary Key for each record, (2) FundID that'sa primary key in another table, (3) CompanyID that's a primary key inanother table, (4) Attribute 1 of the (Fund/Company) and (5) Attribute2 of the (Fund/Company).The stored procedure filters the set of Fund/Companies based on aFundID from a form. I can update this stored procedure. However, forusers, they would like to see the Fund Name from the table that hasunique FundIDs. As soon as I include that into the stored procedure, Ican no longer add records.My questions are many:1. Is there a primer online that discusses the theory behind myquestion? Recordsets, updatability, working with recordsets in forms?2. What are some best practices for developing subreports, combo boxes,list boxes, etc. where the data is dependent on the values in a control3. I'm struggling with the best ways to grab objects on a form. If I'mon the main form I'm comfortable working with theMe.__object__.__sub-oject routine. However, if I'm in one subform whereI need another subform to change based on the record I'm in, I feelthat my code to get at the subform is very klunky..forms.main form name.sub form name.form.record sourceI don't even know how I figured out the "form" part before recordsource. Again, are there some basic rules or guides about navigatingthrough forms in VBA?4. Should I be developing front ends in some other environment?I know it's a lot, but all the advice from the newsgroups seems topresuppose some knowledge about how ADP, ADO, ODBC..blah blah and Ican't seem to find any documents about ADP and SQL.

Hi,
I would like to use the view of the company data in the following stored procedures
without needing to pass a value into the CompanyID identity column. Is there a way to do this? The following code contains the view, the insert trigger on the view, and the desired stored procedures.
Also, this code is given me problem as well the error message says it cannot convert varchar to int. This code is located in the insert trigger.
INSERT INTO State(StateName)
VALUES(@StateName)
Here is the code of the company view, notice the C.CompanyID it is used in the GetCompany stored procedure.
SELECT C.CompanyID, C.CompanyName, A.Street, A.City, S.StateName, A.ZipCode, A.Country, P.PhoneNumber
FROM Company AS C INNER JOIN
Address AS A ON C.AddressID = A.AddressID INNER JOIN
State AS S ON A.StateID = S.StateID INNER JOIN
Phone AS P ON C.PhoneID = P.PhoneID
Here is code for the insert trigger on the view
CREATE TRIGGER InsertTriggerOnCustomerView
ON ViewOfCompany
INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @CompanyName VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @AddressID INT
DECLARE @Street VARCHAR(256)
DECLARE @City VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @StateID INT
DECLARE @StateName VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @ZipCode INT
DECLARE @Country VARCHAR(128)
DECLARE @PhoneID INT
DECLARE @PhoneNumber VARCHAR(32)
--DECLARE @CompanyID INT
SELECT
--@CompanyID = CompanyID,
@CompanyName = CompanyName,
@Street = Street,
@City = City,
@StateName = StateName,
@ZipCode = ZipCode,
@Country = Country,
@PhoneNumber = PhoneNumber
FROM INSERTED
INSERT INTO State(StateName)
VALUES(@StateName)
SET @StateID = @@IDENTITY
INSERT INTO Address(Street, City, StateID, Country, ZipCode)
VALUES(@Street, @City, @StateID, @ZipCode, @Country)
SET @AddressID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO Phone(PhoneNumber)
VALUES(@PhoneNumber)
SET @PhoneID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO Company(CompanyName, AddressID, PhoneID)
VALUES(@CompanyName, @AddressID, @PhoneID)
END
The stored procedures are here.
CREATE PROCEDURE GetCompany
(
@CompanyID INT
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT CompanyName,Street, City, StateName,
ZipCode, Country, PhoneNumber
FROM
ViewOfCompany
WHERE
CompanyID = @CompanyID
END
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE AddCompany
(
@CompanyName VARCHAR(128),
@Street VARCHAR(256),
@City VARCHAR(128),
@StateName VARCHAR(128),
@ZipCode VARCHAR(128),
@Country VARCHAR(128),
@PhoneNumber VARCHAR(32)
)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ViewOfCompany
VALUES(@CompanyName, @Street, @City, @StateName,
@ZipCode, @Country, @PhoneNumber)
END
GO

Greetings,
We have recently begun using transactional replication to keep the data in our SQL Servers synchronized in a geographically dispersed environment. We replicate our tables but we have never replicated views, stored procedures, or user functions in our production systems. We are thinking of doing so but wonder if the overhead of running the replication agents doesn't outweigh the benefits of having replication assist with the occassional change to these design elements.
Is anyone on this forum replicating views, sprocs, and user functions? What has your experience been?
Thanks for any ideas that you share.

Hi all--I used the following type of script to migrate tables, views and stored procedures from 'dbo' to 'hqmsuser':
alter authorization on dbo.PK_T_PQ_MASTER to HQMSUSER
alter schema HQMSUSER transfer dbo.PK_T_PQ_MASTER
go
This was per recommendations from the BOL to use instead of the 'sp_changeobjectowner' procedure. I returned the following error:
Msg 15346, Level 16, State 1, Line 3
Cannot change owner for an object that is owned by a parent object. Change the owner of the parent object instead.
Msg 15347, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
Cannot transfer an object that is owned by a parent object.
How do I find and change the parent object on this from 'dbo' to a non-dbo schema ownership?

Hi Folks,
I am writing a program that transforms a generic MS SQL database to make it compatible with our application. In order to make the transformation, I have to access all the elements of the generic database programmatically.
I know that the Master database contains all this information. Is there a query that allows me to access the "non-system" tables, sps, views, and functions?
For Tables, I need to know the Name(s) of the tables, the column names, the column type, ALLOW Nulls, Primary Key, Identity Seed settings, and Triggers.
For SPs, I need to know the Name(s) and access the SP source code (assuming it's unencrypted).
For Views, I need to know the Name(s) and access the Views Source
For functions, I need to know the Name(s) and access the function source.
I can see various tables in the Master database from management studio, like sys.objects, sys.tables - which look like they have the info I need. However, when I run a query against master like:
select * from sys.objects .. I get an error:
Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
I have a question where the answer may be simply opinion, or there may be strong reasons. I guess that's why I'm asking the question...
The question is - when should one create a view, and when should one use a stored procedure? Obviously, when doing multiple queries or passing parameters, you must use a SP. I'm talking about the case of a single query perhaps joins a couple of tables.
Hope that's not a stupid question...
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hello all,
I'm looking for a best practice.
Let's say you have a report that contains out of 3 queries.
How are you going to create the report and why?
1. Just use "select * from table where p1= value" in your report
2. Save the query in your db as a view and use the view in your report
3. Create a procedure that contains all 3 queries. And use the procedure with some parameters in your report?
