Passing SELECTed rows to a calling SP

[NiTiN]

Hi!

I'm a new T-SQL developer and just hit a roadblock.

I have a scenario that goes like this: I have 2 stored procedures,
spInner and spOuter. spInner has a SELECT statement which would
normally be used by a class using MS Enterprise Library and that output
goes into a DataSet. However, I need to get the output of the SELECT
statement to go into spOuter and that's what I can't seem to figure
out.

I know I may be asked to use functions that return tables in replies to
this post, but I can't do that as some parts of my application have an
EXEC(string) for dynamic SQL, instead of spInner.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
N.I.T.I.N.

Re: Passing SELECTed rows to a calling SP

For the results of spInner to be available to spOuter, there are a few
options. I have used temporary tables or persisted the data into a real
table to avoid recompiles and also have a record of the data. If you use the
latter option, you can use a guid column and each row with a guid obtained
from spOuter. This way you can easily pick up the rows you need.

I have an article on my web site that discusses possible options. See
