If you need to write a lot of sprocs for an API of some sort. You may like this tools I wrote when I was a programmer. Say you have a 200 columns table that need to have a sproc written to insert/update and another one to delete. Because you don't want your application to directly access the tables. Just the declaration part will be a tedious task but not if a part of the code is written for you. Here's an example...
CREATE PROC upsert_Table1(@col1 int, @col2 varchar(200), @col3 float, etc.)
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE table1 SET col1 = @col1, col2 = @col2, col3 = @col3, etc.
IF @@error <> 0
INSERT Table1 (col1, col2, col3, etc.)
VALUES(@col1, @col2, @col3, etc.)
END
GO
CREATE PROC delete_Table1(@col1)
AS DELETE FROM Table1 WHERE col1 = @col1
