Hi,

I am modifying one of my SPROCS in the effort of reducing my web apps round trips to the database.

Is it not possible to set a default value for OUTPUT params?

I keep getting NULL back.. any help appreciated !!

Thanks again :)

create PROCEDURE [dbo].[insert_newUser_quick_NEW]
(
@NameOnline [varchar](15),
@NameFirst [varchar](20) = NULL,
@NameLast [varchar](20) = NULL,
@EmailAddress [varchar](50),
@GenderID [tinyint],
@IP [varchar](15),

@email_Available [tinyint] OUTPUT,
@nameOnline_Available [tinyint] OUTPUT
)

You would do that in the body of the stored procedure.

SET @yourOutVar = <default value>

ok great,

is there any difference between these ?

SELECT @email_Available = 1
SELECT @nameOnline_Available = 1

or

SET @email_Available = 1
SET @nameOnline_Available = 1

thanks again! :)

SELECT allows you to do them at the same time. With SET, you can only do them one at a time.

SELECT @email_Available = 1, @nameOnline_Available = 1
