I inherited the Stored procedure the whole purpose of it is to populate our catalog table by data from multiple tables. I had to create a Cursor to update the data in the table. When I run the stored procedure, I see the result of multiple queries even the code is very simple: Insert into Table1 Select field1, Field2, etc from Table2. I need the stored procedure only shows when the stored procedure completed. Any suggestions? Thank you.

You mean, the data? Where, exactly, are you 'seeing' this?

likely you need "set nocount on" at the top of your SP (it should be in ALL of them really)

In SQL Management Studio Query windows SQLQuery#.sql that was open when the stored procedure was executed.

I always use SET NOCOUNT ON.

Then you must have SELECT statements in your proc.

INSERT ... SELECT

does not output the selected data to the SSMS window.

There is a cursor in the SP and in it there is this code:

Select * from dbo.web_Online_Library_Products where RIGHT(PRODUCT_CODE, 3) = 'WFM' and SOURCE_NUMBER = @SN and CHAPTER_NUMBER = @CN

if @@ROWCOUNT > 0

Is there any way to suppress the result of query. Based on the @@ROWCOUNT it did update one way or another.

It looks like it runs the query to see if any data will be returned in order to make @@ROWCOUNT >0. Either set a variable to the count, or just check whether data exists.

-- This runs the query and if it returns any data @@rowcount is > 0
Select * from dbo.web_Online_Library_Products where RIGHT(PRODUCT_CODE, 3) = 'WFM' and SOURCE_NUMBER = @SN and CHAPTER_NUMBER = @CN
if @@ROWCOUNT > 0

-- Change it to this unless you need the actual row countt
IF EXISTS (Select * from dbo.web_Online_Library_Products where RIGHT(PRODUCT_CODE, 3) = 'WFM' and SOURCE_NUMBER = @SN and CHAPTER_NUMBER = @CN) 
BEGIN

END

It would be interesting to know more about that. Usually, it's a serious mistake that can be totally and fairly easily avoided.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
