title: SQL-Server Performance: What is faster, a stored procedure or a view?
body: <p>What is faster in SQL Server 2005/2008, a Stored Procedure or a View?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  <em>As many of you pointed out, I am being too vague.  Let me attempt to be a little more specific.<br>
  I wanted to know the performance difference for a particular query in a View, versus the exact same query inside a stored procedure.
  (I still appreciate all of the answers that point out their different capabilities)</em></p>
