Hello,
I have a sp where I created a temp table, I need then insert the result of another sp into that table.
I end up write code like this:
set @sql = '
Insert into #BreakDownByCategories
Select * FROM OPENROWSET( ' + '''' + 'SQLNCLI' + '''' + ',' + '''' +
'Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=yes;' + '''' + ',' + '''' +
'SET FMTONLY OFF; SET NOCOUNT ON; exec spGetCategoriesByDocIDAsTable ' + Convert(varchar, @DocID) + '''' + ')'
exec (@sql )
I wonder if there is a better way to do this since OPENROWSET is usually disabled.
Thank you.

INSERT INTO #BreakDownByCategories

EXEC dbo.spGetCategoriesByDocIDAsTable @DocID

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I believe an accidental typo?

INSERT INTO #BreakDownByCategories

EXEC dbo.spGetCategoriesByDocIDAsTable @DocID

Thanks for the catch. You are correct.... the second "exec" should not have been there. Was a Copy/Paste error on my part.

Repaired my post.
