Ranganath,

I've done a pile of converting C language routines of the past into stored packages and procedures here and basically I do not see any reason not to go that route. They are easier to maintain than code spread out over many applications and they provide a high degree of insulation of the application from database changes. They also provide a higher degree of security of your data. I'd recommend:

Hi List,

We want to use lot of stored procedures in the J2EE application that is being developed for any database intensive routines. While it provides high performance, its not easy to maintain and cannot be ported easily to other databases.
They are used for queries and items that will require high performance like * Complex routines involving multiple data access and requiring very high performance
* Functions which perform large scale operations on many rows

In this context I would like to know the guiding principles for using stored procedures in an application.

Does anybody know any URLs or documents which explains all that what I need? If so, please let me know.

Any help in this regard is very much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Ranganath
