Also written as Stored Procedure, PL/SQL, T-SQL

Programs saved and run inside the database itself. PL/SQL is Oracle's language for them; T-SQL is Microsoft SQL Server's. Very common in banking, insurance and older enterprise systems.

Ask them

“What logic did you keep in the database rather than the application, and why?”
