Hi, I have opened up a stored procedure sp_helpdb and modified it as sp_helpdb2 to give me just the name of the database and their sizes.

I am trying to use this stored procedure in sql 2005 reporting service to generate a web page with the same information.
But the query containing exec sp_helpdb2 does not even compile in the reporting service GUI.

Has anybody gotten a simpler script than having to create a temp table and then populating the output of the sp_helpdb into the temp table and then querying the table to display the results?

Create procedure help_SP
as
Create table #t(...)
Insert into #t
EXEC sp_helpdb2
Select * from #t

Madhivanan, I already have this script. The problem is when you use this stored procedure in the reporting services, it does not attempt to create the temp table and the script fails.
That was the part of my original post.
