C#, Stored procedure

[Smurfas]

Hi,
what's is Stored Procedure? Why use?

Maybe have simple example, who send information to SQL DB.


O long use google, bet found many information, and don't now which information is correct. Found examples but all hard. I don't understand.

A stored procedure is a procedure created and stored on the database side. It is useful, because you can condense complex and commonly used queries into a single statement. SPs really have nothing to do with C# per se, but with the database. If you choose to store your commonly used queries and procedures as SPs, you can still call them from C#.

Maybe you now, how like this, whit Stored Procedure

                 SqlConnection conn;
                SqlCommand comm;
             
                String connectionString =
                ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[
                "Smurfas"].ConnectionString;
                conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
                comm = new SqlCommand(
                "INSERT INTO Bendra (Name,  DataNow) " +
                "VALUES (@Name, @Data)", conn);
                //---Nusiunciam duomenis
                comm.Parameters.Add("@Name",
                System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15);
                comm.Parameters["@Numeris"].Value = Name;

                comm.Parameters.Add("@Data",
                System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15);
                comm.Parameters["@Data"].Value = DataNow;
                                
                try
                {
                    conn.Open();              
                    comm.ExecuteNonQuery();  
                    
                }
                catch
                {
                    error.Text = "Error!";
                }
                finally
                {

                    conn.Close();  //
                }

Are you asking how to write that query as a SP? You should probably get a tutorial on T-SQL stored procedures.

"Are you asking how to write that query as a SP? " - Yes

How much SQL do you know? Depending on your knowledge will determine where I would start showing you how.

I just need simpla example...

I can put information in DB, get information for DB, update, delete. (without SP)
But about Stored Procedures I don't know near nothing.

Should be something like:

USE [Sandbox]
GO
/****** Object:  StoredProcedure [dbo].[Test]    Script Date: 07/28/2008 10:31:52 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
-- =============================================
-- Author:		Tomas Scheel
-- Create date: July 28th, 2008
-- Description:	Sample Procedure
-- =============================================
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Test] 
	-- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here
	@Name varchar(50) = '', 
	@Data varchar(50) = ''
AS
BEGIN
	-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
	-- interfering with SELECT statements.
	SET NOCOUNT ON;

    -- Insert statements for procedure here
	Insert into dbo.SandboxTable ([Name], [Data]) values (@Name, @Data)
END

I would also suggest downloading Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express to play in as it will help you double check your code.
