Extended Stored proc

    What is the difference between an extended stored proc and a stored proc?

    Why couldn't MS put the same logic of extended stored proc into a regular stored proc?

    Extended stored procedures are written in C++, they do things that T-SQL can't do.

    Gotcha! Thanks Gail!

    Is there a way to see the script of extended stored procs?

    They don't have a script, they're not T-SQL. They're written in C++ and compiled into dlls which are shipped with SQL Server.
