Java is compiled into Binary code and executed by JVM.
C++ is compiled into platform dependent code.
When I read definition of Stored Procedure in SQL Server, it says
A stored procedure is a group of Transact-SQL statements compiled into a single execution plan.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa174792(v=sql.80).aspx
So what is SQL compiled into (something SQL Server can execute..?) ? Could I say stored procedure is pre-compiled and ready to execute so it is faster?
I believe “compilation” with stored procedures simply means “creation and storage of a query execution plan.”
According to the blog post here, stored procs are checked for syntax when
created oraltered, but only compiled when they are first run. That link also gives scripts you can run to tell you if a given procedure has been compiled or not.For more reading, see this Microsoft article on compilation in Sql Server 2005.
