Hi, I have a strored proc which gives the following output :-
ServerId day Status
1 1 Success
2 2 Success
3 3 Failed
4 4 Success
5 5 Success
I was asked to design another proc which should give the output Success/Failed. Like, If there is any status with Failed, the stored proc should return only Failed. Otherwise Success should be the output. Can someone throw me an idea how I can get this!!
Thanks

select top 1 status from yourtable where status='Failure'

IF @@rowcount>=1

select 'Failed'

else

select 'Success'

Easiest is to look at the SP.

It will have a select statement at the end

select ServerId, day, Status

from ...

....

change this to

if exists (

select *

from ...

....

where status = 'Failed')

begin

select result = 'Failed'

end

else

begin

select result = 'Succeeded'

end

Another option

select ServerId, day, Status

into #a

from ...

....

if exists (select * from #a where status = 'Failed')

begin

select result = 'Failed'

end

else

begin

select result = 'Succeeded'

end

Cursors never.
DTS - only when needed and never to control.

Since you didn't show us the table and proc's code, I can only assume that something like the code bellow would work

select min(status) from...

Thank you all for the quick replies. I know the table which gives the output. But my concern is, I am not supposed to access the table directly, I have to call this stored proc and from the output I have to generate new output failed or success.

In that case, you'll have to dump the output of the stored procedure into a table, and then select off of that. This will probably do what you need:

DECLARE @SPTable TABLE (ServerId INT, [day] INT, [Status] varchar(7));

INSERT INTO @SPTable EXEC dbo.YourSP;

DECLARE @result varchar(7);

SELECT @result = MIN([Status]) FROM @SPTable;
