I want to have the recordset from a stored procedure. I am using the following query
select * from openquery(server2 , 'server2.esop_softdel.dbo.sp_sel_summary @EmployeeID="0000000001", @CompanyID="0000000001"')
My stored procedure is using a temp. table #sumarry. If i execute the above query I am getting the following err:
I am not able to find out what the error is:
Could not process object 'server2.esop_softdel.dbo.sp_sel_summary @EmployeeID="0000000001", @CompanyID="0000000001"'. The OLE DB provider 'SQLOLEDB' indicates that the object has no columns.
But when I re-run the same query sfter the above error I get the following error:
Invalid object name '#Summary'.
Please help!

I have been able to reduce the scope of the error. I face a problem only when and only in procedures where I use temp tables.

For example:

Procedure on CEL366

===================

CREATE PROCEDURE oq_test

(

@var1 varchar(100)

)

AS

create table #TempTable(fname varchar(100))

insert into #TempTable(fname) values(@var1)

select * from #TempTable

drop table #TempTable

GO

------------------------------------------

exec sp_addlinkedserver 'cel366'

select * from openquery(cel366, 'cel366.asmacs.dbo.oq_test "0000000001"')

------------------------------------------

When I execute the select statement, I get the following error:

Server: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

Invalid object name '#TempTable'.

Why is this? Are we not allowed to use temp objects while using linked servers. If not then when is the turn around.

Thankx

I ultimately could not get thru this code... I checked out all possible ways. But the openquery does not allow to create tables within the stored proc... I still dont understand why! but atleast I could find out whats wrong and I have for now managed to keep my prog development running.

Thanks for the followup and sorry we could not help.

I think in this case you may want to make a permanent table for storing this data. You could prevent collisions by speicfying the SPID as a column in the table and using that in your querys.

This is trying to process a OLEDB datasource stream - my guess is that it is the same problem that you get from ado i.e. getting a closed recordset for the count - that's why you are getting no columns.

If you put a set nocount on in the SP it might solve it.

(Sorry I didn't look at this before if it is that simple).

Cursors never.
DTS - only when needed and never to control.
