    A stored procedure is a piece of code that operates on a database when it is triggered by a certain event. Typical trigger events would be the insertion, update or deletion of a record. The procedure itself, for instance, may then update other tables to reflect the changes made to the first table, or it may perform virtually any other data manipulation functions.

    • It doesn't need to be fired off by a trigger; code from a desktop app or webpage can call it.
