Passing a Table Valued parameter to a stored procedure

Question

Here\'s an example of how to use table-valued parameters in a SQL Server 2008 stored procedure using .NET.

And here\'s the list of parameter types in CF9.

I think the same you need XML Data Type to do so. I am providing an example over here. ##

-- Create a Database
CREATE DATABASE DataTableTest
USE DataTableTest
GO

--Create the sample tables
CREATE TABLE Employees (
    EmployeeID BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1),
    EmployeeName VARCHAR(50),
    DepartmentID BIGINT )

CREATE TABLE Departments (
    DepartmentID BIGINT IDENTITY(1,1),
    DepartmentName VARCHAR(50) )

GO

-- Populate the Sample Tables
INSERT INTO Departments ( DepartmentName)
SELECT 'IT'

INSERT INTO Employees (EmployeeName, DepartmentID )
SELECT 'JCB', 1
GO

Now let us create a stored procedure which returns two result sets.

CREATE PROCEDURE GetEmployeeInfo
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON  

  SELECT EmployeeName, DepartmentID
    FROM Employees
    WHERE EmployeeID = 1

    SELECT DepartmentName FROM Departments
    WHERE DepartmentID = 1
    GO

Let us create the next stored procedure which accepts an XML parameter. This procedure will insert the data from the XML parameter, into the Employee Table.

CREATE PROCEDURE ProcessXml
(
    @data XML
)
AS

INSERT INTO Employees(EmployeeName, DepartmentID)
SELECT
    x.d.value('EmployeeName[1]','VARCHAR(50)') AS EmployeeName,
    x.d.value('DepartmentID[1]','INT') AS DepartmentID
FROM @data.nodes('/NewDataSet/Table') x(d)

GO
