Question

I got a table with approx 13066 records in which I want to add all other records from another table (having approx. 1346 records). There is a stored procedure which does the insert and I want to use it for all records to be inserted. Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

I may have misinterpreted your question but it seems like that you want to execute a stored procedure and insert the results of the stored procedure in to your main table.

To do this you can do:

INSERT INTO dbo.YourMainTable
EXEC dbo.YourStoredProcedureName

EDIT:

The only way I can think of doing this would be to use a cursor.

DECLARE @PrimaryKeyFieldInTable2 int

DECLARE spCur CURSOR LOCAL FOR

   SELECT PrimaryKetCol From Table2

OPEN spCur

FETCH NEXT FROM spCur INTO @PrimaryKeyFieldInTable2


WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN

    INSERT INTO dbo.Table1
    EXEC dbo.YourStoredProceudre @PrimaryKeyFieldInTable2

    FETCH NEXT FROM spCur INTO @PrimaryKeyFieldInTable2 

END

CLOSE spCur
DEALLOCATE spCur

This assumes that your Stored Procedure accepts one parameter to select each row from Table2.

This isn’t the best use of SQL Server but if you really must do it this way then I can’t think of any other way.
