What is the difference between CALL and EXEC in T-SQL?

Question

Consider:

CREATE PROCEDURE LowerCityDiscounts @city VARCHAR(45), @decrease DECIMAL(10,2) AS
BEGIN
    BEGIN TRANSACTION;
    UPDATE Customers SET discnt = discnt         


        

Answer 1

Yup.. CALL is an construct/syntax usable from an ODBC driver, as your documentation indicates.

There's no reference in the T-SQL documentation to CALL, only EXEC.

It doesn't work because it's not T-SQL.
