I have a stored procedure that returns a pair of output parameters - the ID and the computed value. Is it possible to use a trigger with an insert statement, that inserts those two values directly? Something like this
CREATE TRIGGER Trig_FirstTable ON SecondTable AFTER UPDATE
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO FirstTable (OtherID, OtherValue)
VALUES (@otherID, @otherValue)
FROM StoredProcedure inserted.ID, inserted.Value, @otherID OUTPUT, @otherValue OUTPUT
END
According to the MSDN documentation you can use INSERT into with EXEC. They give the following example:
--INSERT...EXECUTE procedure example
INSERT author_sales EXECUTE get_author_sales
But I think your stored procedure needs a SELECT statement to return the data instead of only filling the output parameters.
You can insert from SP like that:
drop procedure uspTest
GO
create procedure uspTest
AS
select 1 as id, 'x' as val
union all
select 2,'y'
GO
drop table #temp
GO
create table #temp (
id int,
val char(1)
)
GO
insert into #temp (id,val)
EXECUTE uspTest
GO
select
*
from #temp
But you cannot select a subset of columns, so this method will obviously fail if you add more outputs to your SP in the future:
insert into #temp (id)
EXECUTE uspTest
Another way is to store SP results in variables, and then use them for insert.
SecondTable?inserted, then call your procedure and then insert into theFirstTable
