| Hi, the tstsp actually is creating a temporary table which then runs the select query. Would this temporary table (created in the first procedure) be visible to the second stored procedure if it calls it? |

If the parent SP creates temp table, it is accessible to all the nested SPs it calles!SP1 -> creates temp table |-------------------| | |Sp2 Sp3 Sp4|________|_________| (available here) but temp table created by child SPs (Sp2, Sp3 or Sp4) is not accessible to parent SP (Sp1)Harsh AthalyeIndia."Nothing is Impossible" |
