Creating SQL Stored Procedures via SQL Server is easier than you might have originally thought, so let us explain what to do.

Even if you are the one writing the stored procedures, you can’t always be sure that someone else won’t change them after the application has been deployed.

PHP and SQL Server can be made to get along, too, if you want to go that route, and the mssql_* functions have supported stored procedures for a long time. I generally use embedded with PHP+MySQL.
