Exec StoredProcedure in Query?

I have two stored procedures that have a common column and I need to write a query like this:

pseudo code:

Code Snippet

select * from (exec firstProcedure 'argument') T where T.ID not in (exec secondProcedure 'arg') S;

What's the proper way to do this?

It is not possible, Convert your Sp as inline table or table valued function (UDF).

Sample,

Code Snippet

Create Function firstProcedure (@.arg int)

returns table

return

(

Select id from Sysobjects

)

GO

Create Function secondProcedure (@.arg int)

returns table

return

(

Select id+10 id from Sysobjects

)

GO

Select * from firstProcedure(1) Where id not in (Select id from secondProcedure(2))

|||Another alternative is to create temp tables and use INSERT INTO ... EXEC proc syntax to load the data into two different temp tables and then to join the temp tables. My first choice is normally to do as ManiD suggested and create either a function or a view; however, there are some procedures that simply cannot be converted. If this is the case, the temp table option might work best.|||

You can also use functions OPENQUERY (if you added a linked server) or OPENROWSET.

Example:

SELECT TOP 10 *

FROM OPENROWSET('SQLOLEDB', '(local)';'my_user';'my_pwd', 'EXEC Northwind..[Ten Most Expensive Products]') as t

go

Excluding empty parameters

I would like to exclude any parameter that is empty from the SELECTcommand? How do I do this? This is part of a storedprocedure.
SELECT PersonID FROM Persons WHERE
(FirstName = @.firstname) AND
(LastName = @.lastname) AND
(SSN = @.ssn) AND
(AddressID = @.addressid) AND
(DOB = @.dob) AND
(Middle = @.middle)
THanks
One way to do that is to pass a NULL value for the parameters to be excluded, and then structure your query like this:

SELECT PersonID FROM Persons WHERE

(FirstName = ISNULL(@.firstname,FirstName)) AND

(LastName = ISNULL(@.lastname,LastName)) AND

(SSN = ISNULL(@.ssn,ssn)) AND

(AddressID = ISNULL(@.addressid,AddressID)) AND

(DOB = ISNULL(@.dob,DOB)) AND

(Middle = ISNULL(@.middle,Middle))

Excessive stored procedure [COMPILE] lock

Hello!
I am trying to investigate strange problem with particular stored
procedure. It runs OK for several days and suddenly we start getting and lot
of locks. The reason being [COMPILE] lock placed on this procedure. As a
result, we have 40-50 other connections waiting, then next connection using
this procedure has [COMPILE] lock etc. Client is fully qualifying stored
procedure by database/owner name and it doesn't start with sp_. I know
these are the reasons for [COMPILE] lock being placed. Is there something
else that might trigger this lock? When troubleshooting this issue, I
noticed there was no plan for this procedure in syscacheobjects. The stored
procedure is very simple (I know it could be rewritten/optimized but our
developer wrote it):
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[vsp_mail_select]
@.user_id int,
@.folder_id int,
@.is_read bit = 1, --IF 1, pull everything, else just pull unread mail
@.start_index int = null, --unused for now, we return everything
@.total_count int = null output, -- count of all mail in specified folder
@.unread_count int = null output -- count of unread mail in specified folder
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
select m1.* from mail m1(nolock) where m1.user_id=@.user_id and
folder_id=@.folder_id and ((@.is_read=0 and is_read=0) or (@.is_read=1)) order
by date_sent desc
select @.total_count = count(mail_id) from mail m1(nolock) where
m1.user_id=@.user_id and folder_id=@.folder_id and ((is_read=0 and @.is_read=0)
or (@.is_read=1))
select @.unread_count = count(mail_id) from mail m1(nolock) where
m1.user_id=@.user_id and folder_id=@.folder_id and is_read=0
GO
I was monitoring server for a couple of day before and I am not sure why
this happens every 3-4 days only!
Any help on this matter would be greately appreciated!
Thanks,
igor
This looks like a Parameter Sniffing problem to me.

Developer confirmed that we have an hourly job running that can potentially
