Creating Stored Procedure:

We need to give the procedure a unique name and then write the sequence of SQL statements to be executed within the procedure.

Option in SQl for Creating Procedure:

Your Database->Expand database->Select Programmatically->Select Stored Procedure->right click and select New Stored Procedure.

SQL Server opens a new query window with a default stored procedure creation template like below.

      <@Param1, sysname, @p1> <Datatype_For_Param1, , int> = <Default_Value_For_Param1, , 0>,
      <@Param2, sysname, @p2> <Datatype_For_Param2, , int> = <Default_Value_For_Param2, , 0>

      -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
      -- interfering with SELECT statements.
      SET NOCOUNT ON;

    -- Insert statements for procedure here
      SELECT <@Param1, sysname, @p1>, <@Param2, sysname, @p2>
