How do I define a stored procedure that returns table? - sql

For example I have this stored procedure:
create procedure MyStoredProcedure
as
begin
select *
from X,Y
where x.Id = Y.ID
end
return #table table(X.tTitle, Y.Description)
I want return table and when use table in another query

Stored procedures cannot1 be composed into other queries as a source of rows - is there a reason why it has to be a stored procedure? A user defined function has almost the same amount of expressability as a stored procedure and can easily be a source of rows in the FROM clause of another query.
Something like:
create function MyFunction()
returns table
as
return (select X.tTitle,Y.Description
from X
inner join Y
on x.Id = Y.ID)
1 Ignoring INSERT...EXEC since it does nothing for composition, and OPENROWSET isn't always a viable approach.

Try this:
create procedure MyStoredProcedure
as
begin
select X.*,Y.*
From X INNER JOIN Y ON X.Id=Y.ID
end
This will select all data from tables X and Y.

Try This Way:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[MyStoredProcedure]
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
Declare #ID int
set #ID =(select ID From X INNER JOIN Y ON X.Id=Y.ID)
IF #ID > 0
BEGIN
return #table table(X.tTitle,Y.Description)
END
END

you can simply Create a Procedure and then, Try this:
CREATE PROCEDURE MyStoredProcedure
AS
BEGIN
SELECT tTitle ,
Description
FROM X
JOIN Y ON Y.ID = X.ID
END

You can use temp tables or table variables.
Like this:
CREATE TABLE #TABLE
(
COLUMN DEFINITION
)
INSERT INTO #TABLE
EXEC <YOUR STORED PROCEDURE>
SELECT *
FROM #TABLE
DROP TABLE #TABLE
You can insert your stored procedure inside the temp table so you can use it as well as a table.
Note that temp table names should start with #.

Somethings like this you most write
CREATE PROCEDURE <SP_Name>
AS
BEGIN
Select ......
End

How can i execute a stored procedure inside another stored procedure in SQL Server?

I´m working with SQLServer and I have two storedprocedures
The first one:
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE #FECHAFIN AS datetime;
SET #FECHAFIN = #FECHAINICIO + '23:59:59.999'
-- Insert statements for procedure here
SELECT
HC.idCorrida AS Referencia,
T.part AS Parte,
T.idTrabajo AS Trabajo,
HC.cantidadFabricado AS Piezas,
HC.cantidadRechazado AS Rechazo,
CONVERT(varchar(8), HC.tiempoProduccion) AS TiempoDeProduccion,
CONVERT(varchar(8), HC.tiempoMuerto) AS TiempoMuerto,
HC.fechaInicio AS Fecha,
U.nombreUsuario AS Usuario,
MA.nombre AS NombreMaquina,
TR.nombre AS NombreTripulacion,
TXM.idTurno AS Turno,
FROM [Produccion].[HistorialCorridas] AS HC
INNER JOIN [Produccion].[Trabajos] AS T
ON HC.idTrabajo = T.idTrabajo
INNER JOIN [Administracion].[Usuarios] AS U
ON U.idUsuario = HC.idUsuario AND U.idTripulacion = #IDTRIPULACION
INNER JOIN [Administracion].[Tripulaciones] AS TR
ON U.idTripulacion = TR.idTripulacion
WHERE HC.idTurnoXMaquina = #IDTURNOXMAQUINA
AND HC.fechaInicio >= #FECHAINICIO AND HC.fechaInicio <= #FECHAFIN
GROUP BY HC.idCorrida, T.part, T.idTrabajo, HC.cantidadFabricado, HC.cantidadRechazado,
HC.tiempoProduccion, HC.tiempoMuerto, HC.fechaInicio, U.nombreUsuario, MA.nombre, TR.nombre, TXM.idTurno
END
The second one:
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT
CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), DATEADD(SECOND,SUM(DATEDIFF(SECOND, '00:00:00', TiempoMuerto)),0),114) AS TotalTiempoMuerto,
P.etiqueta AS TipoParo
FROM [Produccion].[TiemposMuertos]
INNER JOIN [Administracion].[ParosXMaquina] AS PM
ON PM.id = idParoXMaquina
INNER JOIN [Administracion].[Paros] AS P
ON P.idParo = PM.idParo
WHERE idCorrida = #IDCORRIDA
GROUP BY P.etiqueta
END
The second one receives as a parameter a field called Referencia from the first stored procedure. What I want to do, is execute the second stored procedure from the first one, passing that parameter.
How could I achieve this? Is it possible to get the result in just one query?
Thanks in advance!!!
To call a PROCEDURE from another PROCEDURE that returns a value as output, you must use the out keyword for the output, which may be a table or other data type.
The following two procedures are defined.
In test1 procedure, the return parameter is specified with out.
In the second procedure, the first procedure is called as follows:
DECLARE #result int
EXEC test1 #result OUTPUT
CREATE PROCEDURE test1
(#outID int output)
AS
BEGIN
SET #outID = (select top 1 ID from table1)
END
CREATE PROCEDURE test2
AS
BEGIN
BEGIN
DECLARE #result int
EXEC test1 #result OUTPUT
SELECT ID from table2 where ID = #result
END;
END
GO
EXEC test2

How to assign an output of a stored procedure that is nested in a stored procedure?

I have a stored procedure that has a nested stored procedure that is executed when the parent stored procedure is executed.
Can the output of the nested stored procedure be assigned to a #variable and the output in a select statement?
EXEC #bat_key = [dbo].[client_icc_set_batch] - I can see the output here but would also like to include the output in a SELECT statement.
SELECT 'return_key' = #bat_key
I would just do it like this:
DECLARE #bat_key INT
CREATE TABLE #tmp (bat_key INT)
INSERT #tmp
EXEC [dbo].[client_icc_set_batch];
SET #bat_key = (
SELECT TOP 1 bat_key
FROM #tmp
order by bat_key DESC
);
SELECT 'return_key' + '=' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, #bat_key)
DROP TABLE #tmp

How to declare an array in SQL server query and how to assign value into this array from other select query

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[createTimeFrameReport]
AS
--BEGIN TRAN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
--declare #currentYear varchar (4)
--declare #currentMonth varchar(3)
--declare #currentDay varchar(3)
DECLARE #applicationNo varchar(20);
TYPE ListofIDs IS VARRAY(100) OF NUMBER;
//how to assign value for below code a.APPLICATION_ID into an array
SELECT #ListofIDs =a.APPLICATION_ID from BPM_PROCESS_INSTANCE a,BPM_TASK_INSTANCE b,BPM_PROCESS c where b.PROCESS_INSTANCE_ID=a.ID and c.ID=a.TYPE_ID and a.TYPE_ID=42
AND b.ASSIGNED_ROLE IN('IDB_Reviewer','IFP_TechReviewerPermitting','IFP_ProcessManager','IFP_TechReviewerAssessment')
select #ListofIDs
In SQL there is not Array variable, however some SQL features replaces the logic of that array, it depend on how you use it, and i think what you are looking for is Temporary Tables
how to create temporary tables ? , to create temp table you need to have a hashtag sign # before the name of the temp table. see sample below (2 ways to create temp table
Using CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLE #testTempTable
(
Column1 DataType,
Column2 DataType,
Column3 DataType,
etc...
)
Using SELECT INTO #testTempTable
SELECT Column1, Column2, Column3
INTO #testTempTable
FROM SourceTableNameHere
There is also called Variable Table in SQL , you can google it to know how to use it.
NOTE: it is best practice to drop the temporary table at the end of the script to avoid errors when the script contains temp table runs in the 2nd time.
sytanx:
DROP TABLE #testTempTable
Hope it helps.
SQL Server has not array type but you can use table variables or temp tables instead.
Also please don't use outdated comma syntax, use JOIN ON instead.
TEMP TABLE:
SELECT a.APPLICATION_ID
INTO #ListofIDs
FROM BPM_PROCESS_INSTANCE a
JOIN BPM_TASK_INSTANCE b
ON b.PROCESS_INSTANCE_ID = a.ID
JOIN BPM_PROCESS c
ON c.ID = a.TYPE_ID
WHERE a.TYPE_ID = 42
AND b.ASSIGNED_ROLE IN('IDB_Reviewer',
'IFP_TechReviewerPermitting',
'IFP_ProcessManager',
'IFP_TechReviewerAssessment');
SELECT #ListofIDs;
TABLE VARIABLE:
DECLARE #ListofIDs TABLE
(
APPLICATION_ID int
);
INSERT INTO #ListofIDs(APPLICATION_ID)
SELECT a.APPLICATION_ID
FROM BPM_PROCESS_INSTANCE a
JOIN BPM_TASK_INSTANCE b
ON b.PROCESS_INSTANCE_ID = a.ID
JOIN BPM_PROCESS c
ON c.ID = a.TYPE_ID
WHERE a.TYPE_ID = 42
AND b.ASSIGNED_ROLE IN('IDB_Reviewer',
'IFP_TechReviewerPermitting',
'IFP_ProcessManager',
'IFP_TechReviewerAssessment');
SELECT #ListofIDs;

SQL server stored procedure return a table

I have a stored procedure that takes in two parameters. I can execute it successfully in Server Management Studio. It shows me the results which are as I expect. However it also returns a Return Value.
It has added this line,
SELECT 'Return Value' = #return_value
I would like the stored procedure to return the table it shows me in the results not the return value as I am calling this stored procedure from MATLAB and all it returns is true or false.
Do I need to specify in my stored procedure what it should return? If so how do I specify a table of 4 columns (varchar(10), float, float, float)?
A procedure can't return a table as such. However you can select from a table in a procedure and direct it into a table (or table variable) like this:
create procedure p_x
as
begin
declare #t table(col1 varchar(10), col2 float, col3 float, col4 float)
insert #t values('a', 1,1,1)
insert #t values('b', 2,2,2)
select * from #t
end
go
declare #t table(col1 varchar(10), col2 float, col3 float, col4 float)
insert #t
exec p_x
select * from #t
I do this frequently using Table Types to ensure more consistency and simplify code. You can't technically return "a table", but you can return a result set and using INSERT INTO .. EXEC ... syntax, you can clearly call a PROC and store the results into a table type. In the following example I'm actually passing a table into a PROC along with another param I need to add logic, then I'm effectively "returning a table" and can then work with that as a table variable.
/****** Check if my table type and/or proc exists and drop them ******/
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE type = 'P' AND name = 'returnTableTypeData')
DROP PROCEDURE returnTableTypeData
GO
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.types WHERE is_table_type = 1 AND name = 'myTableType')
DROP TYPE myTableType
GO
/****** Create the type that I'll pass into the proc and return from it ******/
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[myTableType] AS TABLE(
[someInt] [int] NULL,
[somenVarChar] [nvarchar](100) NULL
)
GO
CREATE PROC returnTableTypeData
#someInputInt INT,
#myInputTable myTableType READONLY --Must be readonly because
AS
BEGIN
--Return the subset of data consistent with the type
SELECT
*
FROM
#myInputTable
WHERE
someInt < #someInputInt
END
GO
DECLARE #myInputTableOrig myTableType
DECLARE #myUpdatedTable myTableType
INSERT INTO #myInputTableOrig ( someInt,somenVarChar )
VALUES ( 0, N'Value 0' ), ( 1, N'Value 1' ), ( 2, N'Value 2' )
INSERT INTO #myUpdatedTable EXEC returnTableTypeData #someInputInt=1, #myInputTable=#myInputTableOrig
SELECT * FROM #myUpdatedTable
DROP PROCEDURE returnTableTypeData
GO
DROP TYPE myTableType
GO
Consider creating a function which can return a table and be used in a query.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186755.aspx
The main difference between a function and a procedure is that a function makes no changes to any table. It only returns a value.
In this example I'm creating a query to give me the counts of all the columns in a given table which aren't null or empty.
There are probably many ways to clean this up. But it illustrates a function well.
USE Northwind
CREATE FUNCTION usp_listFields(#schema VARCHAR(50), #table VARCHAR(50))
RETURNS #query TABLE (
FieldName VARCHAR(255)
)
BEGIN
INSERT #query
SELECT
'SELECT ''' + #table+'~'+RTRIM(COLUMN_NAME)+'~''+CONVERT(VARCHAR, COUNT(*)) '+
'FROM '+#schema+'.'+#table+' '+
' WHERE isnull("'+RTRIM(COLUMN_NAME)+'",'''')<>'''' UNION'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME = #table and TABLE_SCHEMA = #schema
RETURN
END
Then executing the function with
SELECT * FROM usp_listFields('Employees')
produces a number of rows like:
SELECT 'Employees~EmployeeID~'+CONVERT(VARCHAR, COUNT(*)) FROM dbo.Employees WHERE isnull("EmployeeID",'')<>'' UNION
SELECT 'Employees~LastName~'+CONVERT(VARCHAR, COUNT(*)) FROM dbo.Employees WHERE isnull("LastName",'')<>'' UNION
SELECT 'Employees~FirstName~'+CONVERT(VARCHAR, COUNT(*)) FROM dbo.Employees WHERE isnull("FirstName",'')<>'' UNION
You can use an out parameter instead of the return value if you want both a result set and a return value
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_name
#param int out
AS
BEGIN
SET #param = value
SELECT ... FROM [Table] WHERE Condition
END
GO
I had a similar situation and solved by using a temp table inside the procedure, with the same fields being returned by the original Stored Procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE mynewstoredprocedure
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO temptable (field1, field2)
EXEC mystoredprocedure #param1, #param2
select field1, field2 from temptable
-- (mystoredprocedure returns field1, field2)
END
The Status Value being returned by a Stored Procedure can only be an INT datatype. You cannot return other datatypes in the RETURN statement.
From Lesson 2: Designing Stored Procedures:
Every stored procedure can return an integer value known as the
execution status value or return code.
If you still want a table returned from the SP, you'll either have to work the record set returned from a SELECT within the SP or tie into an OUTPUT variable that passes an XML datatype.

Though this question is very old but as a new in Software Development I can't stop my self to share what I have learnt :D
Creation of Stored Procedure:
CREATE PROC usp_ValidateUSer
(
#UserName nVARCHAR(50),
#Password nVARCHAR(50)
)
AS
BEGIN
IF EXISTS(SELECT '#' FROM Users WHERE Username=#UserName AND Password=#Password)
BEGIN
SELECT u.UserId, u.Username, r.UserRole
FROM Users u
INNER JOIN UserRoles r
ON u.UserRoleId=r.UserRoleId
END
END
Execution of Stored Procedure:
(If you want to test the execution of Stored Procedure in SQL)
EXEC usp_ValidateUSer #UserName='admin', #Password='admin'
The Output:
create procedure PSaleCForms
as
begin
declare
#b varchar(9),
#c nvarchar(500),
#q nvarchar(max)
declare #T table(FY nvarchar(9),Qtr int,title nvarchar (max),invoicenumber nvarchar(max),invoicedate datetime,sp decimal 18,2),grandtotal decimal(18,2))
declare #data cursor
set #data= Cursor
forward_only static
for
select x.DBTitle,y.CurrentFinancialYear from [Accounts Manager].dbo.DBManager x inner join [Accounts Manager].dbo.Accounts y on y.DBID=x.DBID where x.cfy=1
open #data
fetch next from #data
into #c,#b
while ##FETCH_STATUS=0
begin
set #q=N'Select '''+#b+''' [fy], case cast(month(i.invoicedate)/3.1 as int) when 0 then 4 else cast(month(i.invoicedate)/3.1 as int) end [Qtr], l.title,i.invoicenumber,i.invoicedate,i.sp,i.grandtotal from ['+#c+'].dbo.invoicemain i inner join ['+#c+'].dbo.ledgermain l on l.ledgerid=i.ledgerid where (sp=0 or stocktype=''x'') and invoicetype=''DS'''
insert into #T exec [master].dbo.sp_executesql #q
fetch next from #data
into #c,#b
end
close #data
deallocate #data
select * from #T
return
end
Here's an example of a SP that both returns a table and a return value. I don't know if you need the return the "Return Value" and I have no idea about MATLAB and what it requires.
CREATE PROCEDURE test
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM sys.databases
RETURN 27
END
--Use this to test
DECLARE #returnval int
EXEC #returnval = test
SELECT #returnval

SQL Select Statement including SP Call has syntax error

MYTABLE has ID column. However, following query generates syntax error.
SELECT ID FROM MYTABLE
WHERE ID = EXEC MY_SP ID
What do you think is wrong here?
You can't call stored procedures inline like this.
A couple of options include:
1) Execute the stored procedure and store the results in a temp table. Then use that temp table.
e.g.
CREATE TABLE #Example
(
ID INTEGER
)
INSERT #Example
EXECUTE My_SP
SELECT t.ID FROM MyTable t JOIN #Example e ON t.ID = e.ID
DROP TABLE #Example
2) convert the sproc to a user defined function which you CAN call inline
e.g.
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.MyFunc()
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
SELECT ID FROM SomeTable WHERE ....
)
SELECT t.ID FROM MyTable t JOIN dbo.MyFunc() f ON t.ID = f.ID
3) If the sproc returns a single ID, consider returning an OUTPUT parameter from the sproc instead and use like this:
DECLARE #ID INTEGER
EXECUTE MY_SP #ID OUTPUT
SELECT ID FROM MYTABLE
WHERE ID = #ID
I don't think you need the exec statement, just call the sp, exec is expected to be a separate statement
I don't think you can do that at all. Are you perhaps thinking of a User Defined Function rather than a stored Procedure. Based on the context, you'll need a scalar UDF.
Try this:
SELECT ID FROM MYTABLE WHERE ID = ##SPID
