我正在权衡使用从存储过程向C＃例程返回单个标量值的三种不同方法中的一种对性能的潜在影响。谁能告诉我其中哪个“更快”，最重要的是，为什么？

方法1：

CREATE PROCEDURE GetClientId 
    @DealerCode varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    SELECT ClientId
        FROM Client
        WHERE ClientCode = @DealerCode
END
-- this returns null if nothing is found, 
-- otherwise it returns ClientId in a ResultSet

方法2：

CREATE PROCEDURE GetClientId 
    @DealerCode varchar(10),
    @ClientValue int out
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    set @ClientValue = -1
    set @ClientValue = (SELECT ClientId
        FROM Client
        WHERE ClientCode = @DealerCode)
END
-- this returns -1 for ClientValue if nothing is found,
-- otherwise it returns ClientId
-- the value for ClientValue is a scalar value and not a ResultSet

方法3：

CREATE PROCEDURE GetClientId 
    @DealerCode varchar(10)
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON
    declare @ClientValue int
    set @ClientValue = 
        (SELECT ClientId FROM Client WHERE ClientCode = @DealerCode)
    if @ClientValue is null or @ClientValue = 0
        return -1
    else
        return @ClientValue
END
-- this uses the return value of the stored procedure;
-- -1 indicates nothing found
-- any positive, non-zero value is the actual ClientId that was located
