Question

I have the following stored procedure :

 SET ANSI_NULLS ON
 GO
 SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
 GO
 ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[SearchMediaTitles] 

   @query varchar(50),
   @limit int = 6,
   @userId int
 AS
 SET FMTONLY OFF
 BEGIN

 declare @searchString varchar(52)

 set @searchString = '"' + @query +'*"'
 IF @userId!=NULL
 SELECT TOP (@limit) ID, Title from Media where CONTAINS([Title], @searchString)
 AND ID IN
  (
  SELECT FavoriteMedia_ID
  FROM dbo.UserMedia
  WHERE UserMedia_Media_ID=@userId
  )
 ELSE
 SELECT TOP (@limit) ID, Title from Media where CONTAINS([Title], @searchString)

 END

In Entity Framework when I try to map it at function import for a complex type it says

the selected stored procedure returns no columns

I’ve read about this on the internet and I found out I need to set SET FMTONLY OFF, but as you can see it didn’t work.

Any ideas?

EDIT:

I’ve changed SELECT to * and it return an empty result. I think it’s related to problem described above

Answer 1

For everyone who has the same problem, this is what I’ve done.

First I modified the stored procedure to a simple one like this :

  SELECT  [column1],[column2] FROM [table]

I imported it in Entity Framework, created the complex type and mapping properties

Then I changed it back and updated the model and now it works.
I think Entity Framework has some problems with complex stored procedures. From what I read it can’t get results for dynamic stored procedures or for a stored procedure which use temp tables.

PS: When I call it with Ajax, I call it using data.column1 and data.column2. If I use data.value' it returnsundefined` .

It’s kinda weird.

EDIT: It’s like Martin said but I don’t know why it didn’t worked in the first place ! Thank you btw !
