Schema from stored procedure

Question

I have a procedure, I want to read schema of the procedure. To retrieve view schema I use the query shown here. Same way I want to get schema of stored procedure. How to get

Answer 1

I've created various code generators that use the output of stored procs. In my experience, most procedures that SELECT anything output their schema just the same if you call them with null (DbNull.Value) as the value for all parameters. You can get the parameter list itself from system views, though I find it convenient to use INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS.

By executing the procedure in a transaction and always rolling back you can safely execute stuff even when you have no idea what the procedure does.

You'll probably need a basic GUI and allow the user to modify the parameters - or a config file or some other way to provide parameter values for specific procedures. A stored proc may produce output with different schemas depending on the parameters, though I haven't seen many that do.
