## TL;DR

CockroachDB does not support stored procedures and the best alternative would depend on the problem you are trying to solve.

## Steps

1. CockroachDB does not support stored procedures and the best alternative would depend on the problem you are trying to solve. A few examples: - If the stored procedure contains business logic, we'd recommend moving that logic to the application. - Simple stored procedures that contain a single DML statement should be moved into the application's DataAccess logic. - More complex stored procedures that contain explicit transactions or error code should be moved to the application-level transactions. EDIT: Stored Procedures as a Litmus Test, an article by Joe Emison, compares Stored Procedures to other solutions. It may be helpful in understanding alternatives.

## When to use

You are seeing this: CockroachDB does not support stored procedures and the best alternative would depend on the problem you are trying to solve. Use this skill when you run into "Alternative For Stored Procedures In cockroachDB".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
