Myth that SQL Server stored procedures are always faster than dynamic SQL.

Declare before function and use by function versus declare each time function is called? Absolutely!

It may. If the exe is local the functions contained in it would be fast. If the DBC is remote, accessing those functions *should* be slower than if they were in the exe.
