A Stored Procedure is a microsoft thing, its a server side procedure that
can be cached for permformance reasons - heres an example:

CREATE PROCEDURE GetClientList
    @Search varchar(10)
As
Select * From client Where cliname = @Search + '%'

At the moment its what sets microsoft apart from anything else, you can use
any TSQL in here so you can do server side cursors and even more complex
things.  More and more windows programmers are using the features in mssql
espcially with the release of .NET.  All we need is for postgres/mysql etc
to support this subset.

Kind Regards,
