    Hi,

    Difference between Entity Framework and Stored Procedure is chosen based on your requirement.

    Stored Procedure:
    Encapsulate multiple statements as single transactions using stored procedure.
    Implement business logic using temp tables.
    Better error handling by having tables for capturing/logging errors.
    Parameter validations / domain validations can be done at database level.
    Control query plan by forcing to choose index.
    Use sp_getapplock to enforce single execution of procedure at any time.

    Entity Framework:
    LINQ to SQL and EF queries will be "untunable" because, even if you discover a performance problem, you can't change the underlying API code to produce the exact SQL query that you want. There's too many layers of abstraction to change it.

    T-SQL is a declarative language, allowing you the ability to rewrite queries for better performance.

    EF 5 simplifies this part a bit with auto-compiled LINQ Queries, but for real high volume stuff, you'll definitely need to test and analyze what fits best for you in the real time world.

    Thanks,
    Mani

    Entity Framework has the ability to automatically build native commands for the database based on your LINQ. This code snippet is useful to create Stored Procedure
    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetCoursesByStudentId]
    @StudentId int = null
    AS
    BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

    select c.courseid, c.coursename,c.Location, c.TeacherId
    from student s
    left outer join studentcourse sc on sc.studentid = s.studentid
    left outer join course c on c.courseid = sc.courseid
    where s.studentid = @StudentId
    END

    Hi,

    Performance point of view, stored procedure are faster because you can send parameters to it and implement business logic using temp tables.
    Using Entity Framework, you can issue a single LINQ query that will retrieve all the data in a single call and fill various tables at a time. But performance and memory management degrades.
