How can I pass a list of column data into a stored procedure?
My stored procedure is
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Register]
@Id int,
@Name nvarchar(50)
AS
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
INSERT INTO dbo.Group (Id, Name)
VALUES(@Id, @Name)
SELECT 0
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT -1
END CATCH
END
GO
I want pass like this data for insert into this table
@Id = 1,2,3,4,5
@Name = 'test1,test2,test3,test4,test5'
and result like this
Id Name
1 test1
2 test2
3 test3
4 test4
5 test5
A "list" or "array" in SQL Server is ..... a table. So if you're on SQL Server 2008 or newer (you didn't specify), then use the table-valued parameter feature of SQL Server to pass a table of value to your stored procedure
-- Create a table type to match your input parameters
CREATE TYPE IdNameTable AS TABLE
( ID INT, Name NVARCHAR(50) );
GO
-- change your stored procedure to accept such a table type parameter
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Register]
@Values IdNameTable READONLY
AS
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
INSERT INTO dbo.Group (Id, Name)
-- get the values from the table type parameter
SELECT
Id, Name
FROM
@Values
SELECT 0
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT -1
END CATCH
END
GO
See the extensive and freely available SQL Server Books Online documentation for more details on the table-valued parameter feature and how to use it
If you want to use this from T-SQL, use this code:
-- declare a variable of that table type
DECLARE @InputTable IdNameTable
-- insert values into that table variable
INSERT INTO @InputTable(ID, Name)
VALUES (1, 'Test 1'), (2, 'Test 2')
-- execute your stored procedure with this table as input parameter
EXECUTE [dbo].[Register] @InputTable
If you want to use this from C# or VB.NET, see Michael Edenfield's link in comments.
