When you write stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions, you need to decide whether to use traditional Transact-SQL or a programming language that is compatible with the .NET Framework, such as Visual Basic .NET or C#. Transact- SQL is best for situations in which the code primarily performs data access with little or no procedural logic. Programming languages that are compatible with the .NET Framework are best-suited for computationally-intensive functions and procedures that feature complex logic or for situations where you want to take advantage of the .NET Framework class library.
