    Every call made to the sql server is executed on the server side. there is no client side involved. Both have different working in the world of sql server.

    you can find hundreds of article u just need to google it.

    one of them is this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1179758/function-vs-stored-procedure-in-sql-server

  • As far as i know,both the functions and stored procedures are objects created on the database,so it is server side.

    you can say any adhoc query or dynamic sql used within the application as cleint side.

  • no that not correct the

    SwePeso statement explains it better

    EVERYTHING that is defined as T-SQL is executed at server side.

    Microsoft SQL Serve works with sets and can return data from the server to the client during the batch (collection of statements).

    if i put it this way, Everything is server side in sql server. 🙂

  • It does depend on what we're talking about when we say functions. If you're talking in-line table functions or multi-statement table valued functions that are created within SQL Server, then those are executed on SQL Server. If you're talking about functions within C#, F#, Java, or name your programming language, and we're not talking about Common Language Runtime (CLR) functions, then those functions are executed on the client. But we have to define the terms better to know which is right.
