| I'd *like* to execute a sProc within another sProc, because this other one (let's call it dataProc) will provide me with results I need that are calculated based off execing other procs within that proc itself.I'd like to use this data in a new sProc (we'll call it newProc), but I don't need NEARly all of the columns. The dataProc returns 1 row with 42 columns. I need about 4-5 of those for my newProc.The dataProc does not have any output variables, and I do not want to change the signature, because several pages/apps use this existing dataProc.My question:Is there a way to INSERT INTO table EXEC dataProc *Without* making a temp table that takes in every single column the dataProc puts out?Any help is much appreciated.. thanks! |

| yeah.. I definately don't want to use a linked server, and I saw someone mentioning the INSERT INTO table EXEC method, but not how to insert only a handful of the columns returned by the sProc.. |

| That was me mentioning the INSERT INTO EXEC method. It is not possible to insert only a handle of the columns returned by a stored procedure.Tara Kizer |

| so why not write your own version of this stored proc, and return the few columns that you need?For fast help, follow this link:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/brettk/archive/2005/05/25.aspxLearn SQLhttp://www.sql-tutorial.net/ http://www.firstsql.com/tutor.htm http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp |

| We already have more sProcs in our databases than there are emos in the world...yeah...I try to do what I can to cut down on making mirrors of sProcs that do almost exactly what another does, but just slightly different |

| You could add an optional parameter to the proc and if it's set only return the abbreviated set.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
