Hi,

Can anybody tell me what is the basic difference between Stored Procedure and RPC and which one is better to use?

Thanks,
Anand.

Hi,

Comparison of these two seems little starnge to me - stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. In other words, when you talk about "Stored procs' you are imlicitly talking about relational databases , such as DB2. While Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is a "protocol" that one program can use to request a service from a program located in another computer.

May be if you share the origin of this question, some one around can come up with better answer.
