How to merge two stored procedures

[gelezniyden]

I have two stored procedures one for INSERT and second for Update and I'd like to merge them in one so could you please tell me which satement should I use for that ?

CREATE PROCEDURE Tools
(@CategoryID_1 int,
 @CategoryName_2 nvarchar(100),
 @Description_3 ntext)

AS INSERT INTO Categories 
 (CategoryID,
 CategoryName,
 Description) 

VALUES 
(@CategoryID_1,
 @CategoryName_2,
 @Description_3)
go

CREATE PROCEDURE Tools1

     (@CategoryID_1     [int],
 @CategoryID_2  [int],
 @CategoryName_3    [nvarchar](50),
 @Description_4     [ntext],

AS UPDATE [Teachdb].[dbo].[Categories] 

SET  [CategoryID]    = @CategoryID_2,
 [CategoryName]  = @CategoryName_3,
 [Description]   = @Description_4,

WHERE 
( [CategoryID]   = @CategoryID_1)
go

You can use EXEC to call a stored procedure from another.

Resolved issue following way:

CREATE PROCEDURE Tools
(
    @Mode nvarchar(100), 
    @CategoryID int,
    @CategoryName nvarchar(100),
    @Description ntext
)

AS 
BEGIN 
    IF @Mode = 'INSERT'
    BEGIN
        INSERT INTO Categories (CategoryID, CategoryName, Description) 
        VALUES (@CategoryID, @CategoryName, @Description)
    END
    ELSE IF @Mode = 'UPDATE'
    BEGIN
        UPDATE Categories
            SET  CategoryID   = @CategoryID,
                CategoryName  = @CategoryName,
                Description   = @Description
        WHERE ([CategoryID]   = @CategoryID)
    END
END
go
