I heard of it done on non-java projects. Steve Feuerstein (O'Reilly author) is/was pretty big on it if I remember. What is does is provide consistent access to your SQL. When you consider the way the cost based optimizer works
and the fact that the slightest difference in spacing or whatever in a SQL statement
will not allow reuse, not to mention all those developers who code their own way, some using bind variables and some not, it actually seems quite beneficial.

That being said, I have never done it. The closest I have come is making developers
remove the half a million identical statements from their stored code and making
a procedure out of it.

I've seen this done also on a Java project. My understanding was that it had to do more with the way an object oriented programmer's mind worked than with any code efficiency.

I just joined a new Oracle/Java project using Tomcat app server. On this project they decided to create an update procedure and insert procedure for every table. This procedure is then called in the Java code with the appropriate parameters passed, instead of simply coding the UPDATE or INSERT
SQL directly in Java.

Does anyone else take this approach? I'm trying to understand the pros vs cons of this approach.

TIA!!! Chris
