A stored procedure is a pre-compiled collection of Transact-SQL statements that can be executed by an application to perform a specific task. Here is an example of how to create a simple stored procedure in SQL:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetEmployeeNames
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees
END

This stored procedure, named "GetEmployeeNames", will retrieve the first and last names of all employees in the Employees table when it is executed.

To execute a stored procedure, you can use the EXECUTE or EXEC keyword, followed by the name of the stored procedure:

EXEC dbo.GetEmployeeNames

You can also pass parameters to a stored procedure.

 For example:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.GetEmployeeNamesByDepartment
    @Department nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Employees WHERE Department = @Department
END

This stored procedure, named "GetEmployeeNamesByDepartment", will retrieve the first and last names of all employees in the specified department when it is executed. To execute this stored procedure and pass a value for the department parameter, 

you can use the following syntax:

EXEC dbo.GetEmployeeNamesByDepartment @Department = 'Sales'

Stored Procedure With Multiple Parameters - 

Setting up multiple parameters is very easy. Just list each parameter and the data type separated by a comma as shown below.

The following SQL statement creates a stored procedure that selects Employee from a particular City with a particular PinCode from the "Employees" table:

CREATE PROCEDURE SelectAllEmployee @City nvarchar(30), @PostalCode nvarchar(10)
AS

BEGIN
SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE City = @City AND PinCode = @PinCode
END;

Execute the stored procedure above as follows:

EXEC SelectAllEmployee @City = 'Pratapgarh', @PinCode = '230501';
