Question

Is it possible to do something like this in sql server 2005?

WITH tmpTable AS (EXEC spWhatever)

Or any other way I can query the data returned from the sp? Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Temp table:

CREATE TABLE #foo (col1 int, col2 char(10), ...)

INSERT #foo 
EXEC myproc

Or loopback (not sure if this still works). Edit: Could be OPENROWSET as per SQLMenace’s answer

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (MyServername, 'USE MyDB EXEC myproc')
