Hallo friends
I am using the following method to insert the result of stored procedure into a table
insert into <table name)
exec <stored procedure>
This is functioning without any problem. If the results are comming from a linked server, inserting is not working. The linked server is using inside the stored procedure.

Any ideas

So, what kind of error do you get?

Can you exec without the insert?

Are you using the correct syntax?

exec server.dbname.owner.procname

I assume here that you are trying to do something like; INSERT mytable EXEC remoteserverProcedure.

Is that correct?

Procedure give results without insert within 1 sec.

But when I use this procedure with insert is not working.

there is no error messages. I have waited more than 30 minutes. and nothing happend.

Can you provide your exact syntax for both attempts?

Both when it succeeds and when it fails.

If it fails.. You say you wait - Does the query come back or is it still running after 30 minutes?

If the latter, then check for blocking on the remote server.

storedprocedure

Create procedure test_insert

as select title_id from mylinedserver.pubs.dbo.titles

exec test_insert is working

but

create table #tmp

(title_id varchar(15))

insert into #tmp

exec test_insert is not working

And you are still positive that you recieve no messages at all?

I must ask you if the query completes at all? If it does then you should recieve something in return.

Have you tried it with a permanent table instead? Or try to specify the column name in the insert.

Have no linked server I can try it on for the moment, sorry.

Try setting SET NOCOUNT OFF in the stored procedure. I have had sp's return nothing because I did not set nocount to off.

This will only work with OPENQUERY. I spent a lot of time on it. Use OPENQUERY to get the results from your remote server

Hope that helps....

Better late than never... It was the answer I was looking for...

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.
