DB2 Version 4.1: Why Use Stored Procedures?

Why Use Stored Procedures?

To reduce network traffic in client/server applications.

To encapsulate business logic and isolate it from the presentation layer of the application.

For improved security.

To provide a flexible interface for accessing data in CICS, IMS, VSAM files, and other MVS sources from client/server applications, including those using ODBC as a database API.
