Kevin,

>To answer your other question, it has two chapters on writing stored procedures in T-SQL 2005. I disagree that SPT has more flexibility. [I'm not opposed to SPT, I just stress SPs as a general practice].

SPT is more flexible as it will execute any SQL you pass through. With SP you can only execute what has been implemented in the SP. So ad-hoc queries are not posible with SP (unless of course you pass a SQL command that gets executed in the SP :)).
