Execute a stored procedure in another stored procedure in SQL server

Question

How can i execute a stored procedure in another stored procedure in SQL server? How will I pass the parameters of the second procedure.?

Answer 1

If you only want to perform some specific operations by your second SP and do not require values back from the SP then simply do:

Exec secondSPName  @anyparams

Else, if you need values returned by your second SP inside your first one, then create a temporary table variable with equal numbers of columns and with same definition of column return by second SP. Then you can get these values in first SP as:

Insert into @tep_table
Exec secondSPName @anyparams

Update:

To pass parameter to second sp, do this:

Declare @id ID_Column_datatype 
Set @id=(Select id from table_1 Where yourconditions)

Exec secondSPName @id

Update 2:

Suppose your second sp returns Id and Name where type of id is int and name is of varchar(64) type.

now, if you want to select these values in first sp then create a temporary table variable and insert values into it:

Declare @tep_table table
(
  Id int,
  Name varchar(64)
)
Insert into @tep_table
Exec secondSP

Select * From @tep_table

This will return you the values returned by second SP.

Hope, this clear all your doubts.
