Is it better to have a SP for each combination I need or one SP that always returns them all?

    Very important question:

    Writing many stored procs that run the same query will make you spend a lot of time documenting and apologising to future maintainers.

    For every time anyone wants to introduce a change, they have to consider whether it should apply to all stored procs, or to some or to one only…

    I would do only one stored proc.
