I am building some monitoring tools based on Steve's series of articles "Automatically Gathering Server Information". One of the things I am doing is gathering database info using the sp_helpdb procedure.
If I execute sp_helpdb without specifying a database, I can put the results into an empty table. What I want to do, however, is get the second result set from executing sp_helpdb and specifying a specific database.
Does anyone know of any way to get the results of a stored procedure that returns multiple result sets, into a table (or tables)?

I would suggest to execute sp_helptext on sp_helpdb to get the source code for sp_helpdb. Then look for the part of the code that is generating the second result set and use it.

Interesting question.

You can get second result set of sp_helpdb by running sp_helpfile.

Are you looking for a pure TSQL solution, or would code work too?

I was looking for a pure TSQL solution.
I've ended up using the sp_helpfile idea. (Thanks Allen_Cui.)
I just finished running a test with this code in place. It's working like a charm. I was just unaware of this procedure.
Once again, sqlservercentral.com comes to the rescue.
Thanks for all your help.

hi
Is there a way in t-sql to retrieve the results set of the second table of sp_helpdb [dbname]. I also am putting together DB info in a number of instances. So I either need to:
1) put sp_helpdb in a cursor with the db name as a parameter if I can get the results of the 2nd result set.
2) get the same results by executing an sp like sp_helpfile which accepts parameters. Any ideas ?
Regards
