Say "No" to in-line SQL

or suffer.....

 these are some points one should consider when using in-line SQL:

· Tuning and deployment. Stored procedure code is stored in the database and allows database administrators to review data access code and to tune both the stored procedures and the database independent of the deployed application. You do not always need to redeploy your application when stored procedures change.

· Network bandwidth. Source code for stored procedures is stored on the server, and you only send the name and parameters across the network to the server. However, when you use embedded SQL, the full source of the commands must be transmitted each time the commands are run.

· Simplified batching of commands. Stored procedures offer simplified and more maintainable batching of work.

· Improved data security and integrity. Stored procedures are strongly recommended to ensure data security, to promote data integrity, and to support performance and scalability. Using embedded SQL typically requires advanced permissions on tables and may allow unauthorized modification of data.

· SQL injection. Avoid using dynamically generated SQL with user input. SQL injection may occur when malicious user input is used to perform unauthorized actions such as retrieving too much data or destructively modifying data. Parameterized stored procedures and parameterized SQL statements can both help reduce the likelihood of SQL injection.
