Raw SQL Security vs Stored Procedures
Developers should learn Raw SQL Security when building applications that interact with databases using direct SQL queries, especially in scenarios involving user inputs, such as login forms, search functions, or data entry systems meets developers should use stored procedures when they need to centralize business logic within the database for consistency, optimize performance by reducing round-trips between application and database, and enforce security by limiting direct table access. Here's our take.

Raw SQL Security
Nice PickDevelopers should learn Raw SQL Security when building applications that interact with databases using direct SQL queries, especially in scenarios involving user inputs, such as login forms, search functions, or data entry systems
Pros
- +It is essential for preventing SQL injection, which can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or data corruption, and is a key requirement in compliance standards like OWASP Top 10
- +Related to: sql-injection, parameterized-queries
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Stored Procedures
Developers should use stored procedures when they need to centralize business logic within the database for consistency, optimize performance by reducing round-trips between application and database, and enforce security by limiting direct table access
Pros
- +Common use cases include batch processing, data validation, and complex transactional operations where atomicity is critical, such as in financial or inventory systems
- +Related to: sql, database-design
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Raw SQL Security if: You want it is essential for preventing sql injection, which can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or data corruption, and is a key requirement in compliance standards like owasp top 10 and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Stored Procedures if: You prioritize common use cases include batch processing, data validation, and complex transactional operations where atomicity is critical, such as in financial or inventory systems over what Raw SQL Security offers.
