A query is a one of providing data without having to understand the
details of where the data is coming from. The advantage on the
user side of a query is that the query can be adapted to what the
user wants. Queries are a way of dynamically re-shaping data.
In SQL Server a stored procedure (like a query) can be pre-compiled
and offer significant performance benefits over just executing a
query.
