Question

I have developed the following code:

  CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Test01]
  AS
  BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM TestTable
  END


  CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Test02]
  AS
  BEGIN
    DECLARE @tmp TABLE
    (
      TestID int,
      Test   nvarchar(100),
    )
    INSERT INTO @tmp
    EXEC Test01
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM @tmp
  END

But if I add or remove a column on TestTable I must to modify @tmp otherwise the result is:

Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition

How can I solve this problem?

Answer 1

Try specify the columns manually:

SELECT a, b FROM TestTable

and

INSERT INTO @tmp (a, b)

This should fix the error you’ve mentioned.
