Hi,
I want to compare two results sets from two different stored procedures using an EXCEPT statment, however i cannot just do this for a rough example..

EXEC sprocname

EXCEPT

EXEC sprocname

do i need to be selecting those exec statments? how can i use the results of a sproc in another statment?

Thanks , Ash

Depending on your code, you might consider recoding them (e.g. into table valued functions).

Anyway, you can insert the output of a sproc into a table and work with the result sets in that way. There is another fudge to work with sproc outputs as a set but it is pretty ugly.
