Greetings,
I have a vendor provided procedure that returns two result sets. I am trying to insert the first result set into a table. I believe this should work since I can disregard the second result set.
--This works
CREATE TABLE #Test
(
a float,
b float,
c float,
d float,
e float,
f int,
g float,
h DECIMAL(22,2),
i DECIMAL(22,2),
j DECIMAL(22,0),
k DECIMAL(22,2),
l float,
m float
)
INSERT INTO #Test

First, take a look at your temp table and the code in testProc2

CREATE TABLE #Test

(

a float,

b float,

c float,

d float,

e float,

f int,

g float,

h DECIMAL(22,2),

i DECIMAL(22,2),

j DECIMAL(22,0),

k DECIMAL(22,2),

l float,

m float

)

GO

INSERT INTO #Test

SELECT

3.58118449079261E+98,

9.6404720198456E+97,

8.59568543065516E+98,

2.36898164801007E+61,

1.58071941607988E+67,

103,

1.30623880297128E+97,

171334797.19,

131638.64,

404716,

566951665.25,

5504385.09951457,

4.09327353277521E+98

SELECT

233,

'2012-12-31 00:00:00',

'ABC',

2625859.36,

1.40291573314828E+77,

2773929.43,

2625859.36,

NULL,

3.89158923999005E+83,

1.67548882141181E+197,

0.00507868627580116

This works:

INSERT INTO #Test

SELECT

3.58118449079261E+98,

9.6404720198456E+97,

8.59568543065516E+98,

2.36898164801007E+61,

1.58071941607988E+67,

566951665.25,

5504385.09951457,

4.09327353277521E+98

But this does not:

SELECT

233,

'2012-12-31 00:00:00',

'ABC',

2625859.36,

1.40291573314828E+77,

2773929.43,

2625859.36,

NULL,

3.89158923999005E+83,

1.67548882141181E+197,

... once you fix that you can do something like this (with or without the UNION statement commented.

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE ROUTINE_NAME='deleteme2')

DROP PROC deleteme2;

GO

CREATE PROCEDURE deleteme2 --two return sets

AS

Thanks for your response. My procedure has two result sets. Each result set has a different structure. My temp table is matching the first structure. Shouldn't the second result set be disregarded when I run:

INSERT INTO #Test

EXEC TestProc2

I don't have any control over the contents of the procedure. Actually its encrypted so I can't even see it.

My apologies if I am missing something in your post. I thought you could insert the first result set of a procedure with multiple result sets if the destination table matched the procs first result set.
