Visual InterDev

Accessing Databases Directly

Many database applications do not rely exclusively on controls bound to tables or views in the database. Instead, they perform their data access via stored procedures or queries, which provides several advantages.

Using stored procedures can limit the changes made by users and can enforce validation and other requirements. If you work with queries, you can dynamically change the query as required by your application.

In this section, you can learn about how to create Microsoft® Visual InterDev™ applications that work directly with stored procedures and queries.
