Stored Procedures
Stored procedures are function-like interfaces that extend the functionality of the add-in beyond simple SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations with GitHub.
Stored procedures accept a list of parameters, perform their intended function, and then return any relevant response data from GitHub, along with an indication of whether the procedure succeeded or failed.
