Exec stored procedure into dynamic temp table

Question

To my knowledge; what I want to do is not possible in sql, but it is worth asking you guys.

Lets say I have a stored procedure abc that returns columns Id and Value.

Answer 1

SELECT * INTO #TempTable 
FROM OPENROWSET
('SQLNCLI','Server=(local)\SQL2008R2;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
     'EXEC OtherDb.DataProd.abc')

SELECT * FROM #TempTable

Answer 2

Insert into a temp table. I know this works in 2008 and above, not sure about 2005. Your temp table columns must match your Stored Proc columns.

create table #mytable (custid int,company varchar(50),contactname varchar(50)
                , phone varchar(50),address1 varchar(50)
                , address2 varchar(50),city varchar(50)
                ,st varchar(2),zip varchar(20))

insert into #mytable (custid,company,contactname,phone,address1,address2,city,st,zip)
exec dbo.sp_Node_CustomerList_wService @segid = 1

select * from #mytable
where custid = 5

drop table #mytable

Answer 3

it is better and easy way to use openrowset

SELECT * INTO #tempTable FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;', 'EXEC OtherDb.DataProd.abc')
