I have written an IF ELSE statement into a sproc but I'd like to display the results (as in counts) from the statement in the "Results" pane after the sproc runs. How do I accomplish this?
IF EXISTS ({SELECT Query})
BEGIN
{INSERT Version 1}
END
ELSE
BEGIN
{INSERT version 2}
END
Thx.
John

Do you just want to know how many rows were inserted? You could consider @@ROWCOUNT or the OUTPUT clause.

To obtain data from a stored procedure you need to have a select. A function can 'return' data if that's what you're looking for-- If you're looking to return something based on some condition.

Below is an extremely basic example of selecting data from a temp table in a SProc

declare @Table_A Table (--Table Column Names and cast types)

--if conditions

insert into @Table_A

--else conditions

insert into @Table_A

select columnNameWithResults from @Table_A

Correct, Luis.

I wanted to see how many records were inserted.

Correct, Luis.
I wanted to see how many records were inserted.

Then you could simply use

SELECT @@ROWCOUNT

Beware of the possible resets of the @@ROWCOUNT value.

The OUTPUT clause of a DELETE will do just fine 😉
