Can i know is there any way to construct a stored procedure at run time. I will be dealing with stored procedure . So instead of creating a stored procedure manually, just passing the parameters to a generic sp which just gets those values and constructs a new stored procedure . Am just asking like a tool which generates new stored procedure and the tool is itself a stored procedure.
Hope am clear.

I have a stored procedure for filling data mart and in this procedure, it calls many other procedures.
In those stored procedures I use temp table with same name. When I execute nested procedure something is wrong. These temp tables somehow stir and distort my data but if I execute these multiple procedures in query as script, that works fine.
I have no clue why it is happening and can you please give me some ideas? What is difference between executing multiple procedures in same query and using other procedure to exec this procedures.
I have a stored procedure, which was written by another developer whi I have subsequently replaced. At the beginning of their store procedures they delete / drop the table using the following code:
EXEC DBA.usp_DeleteTableByName 'Customer_Import'
It appears though that the above line of the code is the only one, which gets executed as at the rest of the code within this stored procedure performs a SELECT INTO to recreate and populate the Customer_Import table.
Why would the stored procedure stop executing after the above line of code has been successfully executed?
I have created a stored procedure and can see it under the stored procedure node, but when trying to execute it doesn't find the procedure.
Under stored procedure node it is called dbo.CopyTable
exec CopyTable
CopyTable is undefined in red saying it does not exist. Why?
Even if I right-click on the procedure and say script stored procedure as execute to - the code it generates is underlined in red and cant find stored procedure either.
Ensure that the database selected contains the stored procedure CopyTable
USE YourDatabase
EXEC CopyTable
Try adding dbo and selecting the right database,
USE databaseName
GO
EXEC dbo.CopyTable
GO
Execute a Stored Procedure
Most likely you are just in the wrong database in the query window, you can specify the database like this:
EXEC [yourDBName].dbo.CopyTable

Considering your updated question:
Even if i rightclick on the procedure and say script stored procedure
as execute to - the code it generates is underlined in red and cant
find stored procedure either.
This could happen if your stored procedure is invalid. Please double-check the validity of the SPROC and ensure the tables it references exist, etc.
Try running your CREATE PROCEDURE. Highlight it, f5 it, and then make sure it runs before you call it elsewhere.
Maybe in your procedure you've accidentally cut-pasted your script name (dbo.CopyTable), say something like...
SELECT * FROM dbo.CopyTable
WHERE ClientId = #ClientId
RETURN
Then when you call your proc you get 'invalid object name dbo.CopyTable' and assume sql is having trouble finding the stored-proc ... which isn't the problem, its finding and running the proc but its actually a problem within the proc.
I want to know that is there any way through which I can execute all my stored procedure at a time.
Presently I am executing each stored procedure using exec "Stored Procedure name" command.
And I have more than 200 stored procedure to be executed on my database.
Is there any easy way out to execute all these stored procedure at a single time as it is difficult for me to keep a track of them?
I suggest you write a stored procedure which calls the other ones.
Put all stored procedures inside a stored procedure,
CREATE PROCEDURE CallAllProcedure
AS
BEGIN
CALL Proc1
CALL Proc2
END
Assuming that you are using Query Analyzer, just put a GO in between all those stored proc and run script.
If you want to execute them all in parallel you could create a SQLJob and schedule them all to execute at the same time. Link below is general usage of SQL Jobs.

you can select all stored procedure names from sys.objects table querying type='P'. After you can use cursor for every stored procedure name to execute. But how about stored procedures with parameters? you must provide parameter values as well to avoid from errors.
You can use Service broker to do this async but I dont think it is a great idea to run 200 stored procs at the same time unless you are sure there will not be any contention on the DB
I have a stored Procedure that returns multiple resultsets(to be specific three resultsets). I just need the first resultset. I am calling the original procedure from a different procedure where i will store the returned resultset into a #table and use it from my further processing.
Also, i can not modify the original stored procedure to achieve this.
Please help!
It's not possible to retrieve the second or further result set from a stored procedure inside SQL.
Two workarounds:
A scheduled job (like a C# program) that periodically calls the stored procedure and stores the result in tables that other procedures can use.
A SQL CLR stored procedure that does the same. The advantage of a SQL CLR procedure is that you can call it from normal SQL stored procedures, so you don't have to wait for the scheduled task.
I haven't tested this, but a work around would be to use OpenQuery and call your SP using it because "Although the query may return multiple result sets, OPENQUERY returns only the first one". OPENROWSET will also do the same...
