Question

When I run this stored procedure using this:

EXECUTE RecipeDetails.sp_InsertRecipe
    @title='gumbo',
    @introdution='intro',
    @ingredients='onion',
    @difficulty='easy',
    @prepTimeHour=null,
    @prepTimeMinute=null,
    @inactiveTimeHour=null,
    @inactiveTimeMinute=null,
    @servings=null,
    @photo=null

I get an error saying

Msg 201, Level 16, State 4, Procedure sp_InsertRecipe, Line 0

Procedure or function
‘sp_InsertRecipe’ expects parameter
‘@introduction’, which was not
supplied.

Can some please advise me as to why it’s saying “introduction” isn’t a valid column name?

I have the following SQL Server stored procedure:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [RecipeDetails].[sp_InsertRecipe]
@title varchar(50),
@introduction varchar(255),
@directions varchar(2200),
@ingredients varchar(2200),
@difficulty varchar(6), or "expert"*/
@prepTimeHour tinyint,
@prepTimeMinute tinyint,
@inactiveTimeHour tinyint,
@inactiveTimeMinute tinyint,
@servings tinyint,
@photo varbinary(MAX)

AS

BEGIN
 SET NOCOUNT ON;

 INSERT INTO RecipeDetails.Recipe (title, introduction, ingredients, difficulty, 
 prepTimeHour, prepTimeMinute, inactiveTimeHour, inactiveTimeMinute, servings, photo)
 VALUES (@title, @introduction, @ingredients, @difficulty, @prepTimeHour, @prepTimeMinute,@inactiveTimeHour, @inactiveTimeMinute, @servings, @photo)
END
GO

It’s a simple typo: see your call to the stored proc:

EXECUTE RecipeDetails.sp_InsertRecipe
    @title='gumbo',
    @introdution='intro',   <== TYPO HERE !! Should be @introduction !!
    @ingredients='onion',

You’ve supplied a parameter @introdution – but not @introduction (you’re missing a “c” in that name there)
