Get column names/types returned from a stored procedure

Question

Is there a way via metadata (Information_Schema, perhaps?) to get a list of the columns a sproc will return? I\'m trying to automate some code generation and that would help

Answer 1

My way of doing this: Edit the stored procedure to have an INTO clause:

Change

Select * from tablename

to

Select * INTO _tablename FROM tablename

This creates a table in the database. Then, use SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA WHERE TABLE_NAME = '_tablename'

Don't forget to undo the modification to the sproc.
