SQL-Server Performance: What is faster, a stored procedure or a view?

Question

What is faster in SQL Server 2005/2008, a Stored Procedure or a View?

Answer 1

A couple other considerations: While performance between an SP and a view are essentially the same (given they are performing the exact same select), the SP gives you more flexibility for that same query.

• The SP will support ordering the result set; i.e., including an ORDER BY statement. You cannot do so in a view.
• The SP is fully compiled and requires only an exec to invoke it. The view still requires a SELECT * FROM view to invoke it; i.e., a select on the compiled select in the view.
