Just curious: is it possible to perform a UNION between two stored procedure executions (that both return identical data formats)?

Not exactly union, but you can insert the results of a proc into a table. Insert both result sets into a temp table, then query that.

I'm with you. I'm playing around with a web item that pulls data from a SP. However, I came across a scenario where this app needs to call the SP twice (using two different parameters). It's a very minor thing -- to the point that it's not worth rewriting the SP or spending any major effort on it. I was just checking to see if there was a quick 'n easy workaround. Not a big deal.

Thanks for your help as always, Gail!
