Within a stored procedure, another stored procedure is being called within a cursor. For every call, the SQL Management Studio results window is showing a result. The cursor loops over 100 times and at that point the results window gives up with an error. Is there a way I can stop the stored procedure within the cursor from outputting any results?

  WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0   BEGIN     EXEC @RC = dbo.NoisyProc     SELECT @RValue2 = 1 WHERE @@ROWCOUNT = 0     FETCH NEXT FROM RCursor INTO @RValue1, @RValue2   END

Thanks!

  1. you could insert the results into a temp table, then drop the temp table

    create table #tmp (columns)  while     ...     insert into #tmp exec @RC=dbo.NoisyProc     ... end drop table #tmp

    otherwise, can you modify the proc being called to accept a flag telling it not to output a result-set?
