UDF and SP what is difference
Hi SQLGurus, might someone explain me with simple words I created on SQL UDF - quite complex - containing 3-level CTE inside - but single query (RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN(....) and I created exac...
One comment - both of them will be executed from EF over SQL - so on execute side both are equal. In EF both are treated as functions
Henn Sarv , with that less on informations no one can guess.
But I try: When you run first the UDF and then the SP, the SP benefits from the already cached data (buffer pool), so no big magic.
Compare the execution plan to see if there is a difference.
- I've tried in both direction and after several testings before - the data was cached for both
I can share the code - is this tells something
