Answer 1

If you are using later versions of codeigniter with mssql or sqlsrv with stored procedures, using 'CALL' as in query('CALL procedureName($param1,$params,....)') may not work.

In the case of MSSQL use:

$this->db->query('EXEC procedureName')

OR

$this->db->query('EXEC procedureName $param1 $param2 $param3,...')

In some cases you might need to turn on some constants for the driver. In this case run:

$this->db->query('Set MSSQL constant ON )

before running your regular query.
