I have a stored procedure that returns rows:
CREATE PROCEDURE MyProc
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM MyTable
END
My actual procedure is a little more complicated, which is why a stored procedure is necessary.
Is it possible to select the output by calling this procedure?
Something like:
SELECT * FROM (EXEC MyProc) AS TEMP
I need to use SELECT TOP X, ROW_NUMBER, and an additional WHERE clause to page my data, and I don't really want to pass these values as parameters.
If your server is called SERVERX for example, this is how I did it...
EXEC sp_serveroption 'SERVERX', 'DATA ACCESS', TRUE;
DECLARE @CMD VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE @StudentID CHAR(10);
SET @StudentID = 'STUDENT01';
SET @CMD = 'SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([SERVERX], ''SET FMTONLY OFF; SET NOCOUNT ON; EXECUTE MYDATABASE.dbo.MYSTOREDPROC ' + @StudentID + ''') WHERE SOMEFIELD = SOMEVALUE';
EXEC (@CMD);
To check this worked, I commented out the EXEC() command line and replaced it with SELECT @CMD to review the command before trying to execute it! That was to make sure all the correct number of single-quotes were in the right place. :-)
I hope that helps someone.
