title: Performance impact of calling a SProc from another SProc in SQL Server
body: <p>Does calling one stored procedure from within another stored procedure impact performance at all? I have been unable to find any answers regarding this. If it does negatively impact performance, I suppose the only alternative is to combine the procedures as one larger one.</p>
  
  <p>I know it negatively impacts performance to call functions within Sprocs (it's better to just retype the code within the SProc) due to the way SQL plans query statistics, but I would imagine that is only true for functions. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
