Stored procedure tuning is the same as query tuning. You measure the performance of the procedure, in terms of time to execute, logical reads and CPU. You make modifications to...

I'd monitor the server for a couple of days (to a couple of weeks if I could) to see if the database is being accessed. Then back it up. Then...

If you are trying to learn T-SQL, you can't go very far wrong picking up Itzik Ben-Gan's book. He has a fundamentals book and the Inside book.
