Stored Procedures Vs. Views

Question

I have used both but what I am not clear is when I should prefer one over the other. I mean I know stored procedure can take in parameters...but really we can still perform

Answer 1

Two rationales.

Use stored procedure instead of view if you don't want insertion to be possible. Inserting in a view may not give what it seems to do. It will insert in a table, a row which may not match the query from the view, a row which will then not appear in the view; inserted somewhere, but not where the statement make it seems.

Use a view if you can't use the result of a stored procedure from another stored procedure (I was never able to make the latter works, at least with MySQL).
