11.13. Summary

Stored procedures and user-defined functions form the core elements of SQL Server programmability. In this chapter, we've look extensively at what they have to offer in terms of core T-SQL programmability. Over the next two chapters, we will add in transactions and then follow that with the last of the major core programming elements of SQL Server — triggers. From there, we're ready to move on to .NET and what it has to offer in the way of extending our SQL Server world.
