Stored Queries in access vs. Stored Procedure in MS SQL Server

Question

Is it correct to say that the Functionality of " stored queries " in MS access is the same with " stored Procedure " in MS SQL Server. Which one improve the Performance more?

Answer 1

A Sub or Function in a module is probably closer to a stored procedure than a query. You can:

• Execute one or more sql statements.
• use flow-control and other logic
• interact with objects outside of the database: files, email, execute programs etc.
• execute/use other sub routines and functions

A query has similarities to a view (except a view can't accept paramters and only executes a select statement), but is more like a table user-defined function (Without some of the flow control).

Answer 2

No, an Access query is much more limited than a stored procedure . The stored procedure may be better if you are working with an SQL Server back-end and want to do something complicated.
