Answer 1

If the error message only occurs locally, try opening the sql file and press the play button.

Answer 2

Could not find stored procedure?---- means when you get this.. our code like this

String sp="{call GetUnitReferenceMap}";

stmt=conn.prepareCall(sp);

ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();

while (rs.next()) {

currencyMap.put(rs.getString(1).trim(), rs.getString(2).trim()); 

I have 4 DBs(sample1, sample2, sample3) But stmt will search location is master Default DB then we will get Exception.

we should provide DB name then problem resolves::

String sp="{call sample1..GetUnitReferenceMap}";

Answer 3

You may need to check who the actual owner of the stored procedure is. If it is a specific different user then that could be why you can't access it.

Answer 4

There are 2 causes:

1- store procedure name When you declare store procedure in code make sure you do not exec or execute keyword for example:

C#

string sqlstr="sp_getAllcustomers";// right way to declare it.

string sqlstr="execute sp_getAllCustomers";//wrong way and you will get that error message.

From this code:

MSDBHelp.ExecuteNonQuery(sqlconexec, CommandType.StoredProcedure, sqlexec);

CommandType.StoreProcedure will look for only store procedure name and ExecuteNonQuery will execute the store procedure behind the scene.

2- connection string:

Another cause is the wrong connection string. Look inside the connection string and make sure you have the connection especially the database name and so on.

Answer 5

I had:

USE [wrong_place]

GO

before

DECLARE..

Answer 6

Sometimes this can also happen when you have a stored procedure being called with parameters. For example, if you type something like:

set @runProc = 'dbo.StoredProcedure'
 exec @runProc

This will work, However:

set @runProc = 'dbo.StoredProcedure ''foods'''
exec @runProc

This will throw the error "could not find stored procedure dbo.StoredProcedure 'foods'", however this can easily be overcome with parantheses like so:

set @runProc = 'exec dbo.StoredProcedure ''foods'''
exec (@runProc)
