SQL insert columns from one procedure to another

Question

I have a stored procedure that returns many columns and is very cumbersome to work with, I created another stored procedure that converts rows to columns. How do I insert the columns from the sub procedure into the main procedure?

I am think that were I want to put the columns from the sub procedure I code it like:

(select * from subprocedure where X= 1) as subquerycolumns

is this correct?

Here is my Table Function, however I am receiving a "The column prefix 'IPAM_RIPS_SKILL-SET_PARTICIPANT_RATING_HDR" does not match with a table name or alias..." error, Everything looks fine to me though, can someone help me.

Answer 1

The table function did not work and was causing too many issue. I went with a view instead which worked jsut as good

Answer 2

You you can't use procedures in that way, you need to use table functions for using the results in queries like a table or view.

Answer 3

OPENROWSET into a temp table, from which you can do your insert.

From this link:

use tempdb
go

select
    a.*
into
    MyTemp
from
    openrowset('SQLOLEDB','SERVER=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes;',
    '
    SET FMTONLY OFF;
    EXEC SP_HELPDB
    ') a

INSERT INTO MyTable (a, b, c)
select a, b, c from MyTemp

drop table MyTemp
