title: What is the meaning of "stored procedures are pre-compiled"?
body: <p>I often heard people saying that stored procedures are pre-compiled. What does it mean?</p>
  
  <p>Actually we write the queries into the stored proc and then compile it. If any syntactic error is there, it complains. So if that is the case then the compilation is happening at that point of time.</p>
  
  <p>Then, what does "Pre" refer to?</p>
