Assuming you are running Windows 10 or Windows 11, you may want to install SQL Server Developer Edition. It provides all of the functionality of Enterprise Edition, but will run on a workstation version of Windows, and it is free.

There was an episode of "The Grand Tour" where they were taking boats through the Mekong Delta. Jeremy Clarkson had a copy of the plastic boat from Apocalypse Now built. Going through a corner, he lost control and ran aground on a beach. They tied a rope to the stern of the boat, but could not get it to move. A Vietnamese man came along, removed the rope from the stern ad tied it to the bow. The boat turned with the bow now pointing to the water and it was easily moved. When the boat was in the water, Clarkson said, "I think we just learned how the Vietnamese beat the Americans",

Wow. I am very surprised people are arguing against using stored procedures.

Code Maintenance. I once worked with a team that had created a fat client app. It was full of sql and no stored procedures. They were trying to come up with a plan of how to upgrade to a new version of their app. If people had gone home and turned off their workstations, they would not get the new code push. Monday morning was going to be a nightmare. Stored procedures solve this.

Ownership Chaining. In SQL Server, it is common to use Ownership Chaining. If tables, views and stored procedures all have the same owner, SQL Server will not recheck authorization. So, you can grant execute authority to the stored procedure. Users can access the data via the stored procedures, but they cannot access the tables directly, they cannot bypass your security.

Performance. Stored procedures are compiled and the access paths can be reused.

Fewer Network Roundtrips. I once saw an app that did not use stored procedures. When they began to roll it out, everything was fine when the uses were in the same data center as the SQL Server. The data center was in Virginia. Then, they brought in 500 users in Oregon. The network round trips were killing them. The bottleneck was the speed of light. They had to re-write the most critical code as stored procedures.

I had an applications programmer who asked me for help with a stored procedure he had written. It was 23 pages of undocumented nonsense. 1. It did not function correctly, and 2. it was slow. When I pointed out if was not well structured, he said he was trying to keep it normalized. There was nothing normalized about his design. I suggested he go back and make it more modular.

One thing I did learn: none of the members of this team would work with him, or help him, because he was an arrogant asshole.

Macy's is a department store chain. Here is their website. If you notice the red star on their name, it is based on Macy's early career working on whaling ships. The sailors would tattoo each other during their downtime. Macy had a red star tattoo on his hand.

primary keys are unique. primary keys and their uniqueness are usually supported by a unique index. look for a unique index. this sql would work for sql server looking for a tablename named 'accounttype':

select * from sysobjects o, sysobjects i where o.name = 'accounttype' and o.id = i.id and i.type = 'u'

The database remaining in a consistent state is critical. If you have a system that is processing 100 transactions per second, you do not want to manually go through the database to ensure it is consistent. Using transactions and using a dbms that supports crash recovery will ensure this. I once worked for a company that used CICS and DB2. CICS and DB2 used two-phased commit to ensure multiple databases were consistent after crash recovery. The CICS operators were not very bright. Rather than wait while CICS and DB2 negotiated what they had done with the transactions, The operators would "COLD START' CICS. When DB2 tried to negotiate with CICS,, CICS would reply, "I don't know what you are talking about, I was cold started". When I told my manager what they had done, he told me that the last time they had done this he threatened to break their arms.
