If all of the result sets returned are of the same structure, then you can dump them to a temp table as you are trying to do. However, that only gets you so far because if the data in the fields cannot be used to determine which result set a particular row came from, then you just have all of the result sets with no way to filter out the ones you don't want.
The only way to interact with multiple result sets individually, regardless of them having the same or differing structures, is through app code (i.e. a client connection). And if you want to do this within the context of another query, then you need to use SQLCLR.
The C# code below shows a SQLCLR stored procedure that will execute a T-SQL stored procedure that returns 4 result sets. It skips the first 2 result sets and only returns the 3rd result set. This allows the SQLCLR stored procedure to be used in an INSERT...EXEC as desired.
The code for the T-SQL stored proc that is called by the following code is shown below the C# code block. The T-SQL test proc executes sp_who2 and only return a subset of the fields being returned by that proc, showing that you don't need to return the exact same result set that you are reading; it can be manipulated in transit.
C# SQLCLR proc:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data.SqlTypes;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
public class TheProc
{
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlProcedure]
public static void Get3rdResultSetFromGetStuckWorkflowInstances()
{
int _ResultSetsToSkip = 2; // we want the 3rd result set
SqlConnection _Connection = null;
SqlCommand _Command = null;
SqlDataReader _Reader = null;
try
{
_Connection = new SqlConnection("Context Connection = true;");
_Command = _Connection.CreateCommand();
_Command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
_Command.CommandText = "tempdb.dbo.MultiResultSetTest";
// (optional) add parameters (but don't use AddWithValue!)
// The SqlDataRecord will be used to define the result set structure
// and act as a container for each row to be returned
SqlDataRecord _ResultSet = new SqlDataRecord(
new SqlMetaData[]
{
new SqlMetaData("SPID", SqlDbType.Char, 5),
new SqlMetaData("Status", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 30),
new SqlMetaData("Login", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 128),
new SqlMetaData("HostName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 128),
new SqlMetaData("BlkBy", SqlDbType.VarChar, 5),
new SqlMetaData("DBName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 128)
});
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsStart(_ResultSet); // initialize result set
_Connection.Open();
_Reader = _Command.ExecuteReader();
// Skip a predefined number of result sets
for (int _Index = 0;
_Index < _ResultSetsToSkip && _Reader.NextResult();
_Index++) ;
// Container used to move 1 full row from the result set being read
// to the one being sent, sized to the number of fields being read
Object[] _TempRow = new Object[_Reader.FieldCount];
while (_Reader.Read())
{
_Reader.GetValues(_TempRow); // read all columns
_ResultSet.SetValues(_TempRow); // set all columns
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsRow(_ResultSet); // send row
}
}
catch
{
throw;
}
finally
{
if(SqlContext.Pipe.IsSendingResults)
{
SqlContext.Pipe.SendResultsEnd(); // close out result set being sent
}
if(_Reader != null && !_Reader.IsClosed)
{
_Reader.Dispose();
}
_Command.Dispose();
if (_Connection != null && _Connection.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
{
_Connection.Dispose();
}
}
return;
}
}
T-SQL test proc:
USE [tempdb]
SET ANSI_NULLS ON;
IF (OBJECT_ID('dbo.MultiResultSetTest') IS NOT NULL)
BEGIN
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.MultiResultSetTest;
END;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MultiResultSetTest
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT 1 AS [ResultSet], 'asa' AS [test];
SELECT 2 AS [ResultSet], NEWID() AS [SomeGUID], GETDATE() AS [RightNow];
EXEC sp_who2;
SELECT 4 AS [ResultSet], CONVERT(MONEY, 131.12) AS [CashYo];
GO
EXEC tempdb.dbo.MultiResultSetTest;
To do:
Adjust _ResultSetsToSkip as appropriate. If you only want the first result set, simply remove both _ResultSetsToSkip and the for loop.
Define _ResultSet as appropriate
Set _Command.CommandText to be "spDebuggerViews_GetStuckWorkflowInstances"
Create the necessary parameters via SqlParameter (i.e. @workflowSpaceId='00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',@pageNum=1,@pageSize=100000,@orderByColumn=N'fldid',@sortOrder=1,@workflowInstanceId=0,@stuckInstanceType=1,@createdDateFrom='1900-01-01 00:00:00',@createdDateTo='9999-01-01 23:59:59',@updatedDateFrom='1900-01-01 00:00:00',@updatedDateTo='9999-01-01 23:59:59')
If needed, add input parameters to the SQLCLR proc so that they can be used to set the values of certain SqlParameters
Then use as follows:
INSERT INTO #stalledp
(RowNumber,fldid,fldLastUpdated,fldCreationDate,fldName,fldPending)
EXEC Get3rdResultSetFromGetStuckWorkflowInstances;
