SQL Stored Procedure - Output parameters

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by KroonOfficeSol 587

Source is a SQL Server, it on premise and connected through a gateway.


From Flow I call a Stored Procedure, in which I have declared an output parameter

@XMLFile XML OUTPUT

Now I don't get back the output parameters from my stored procedure, see picture

I noticed when I do this in an Azure SQL Server instance, so whithout a data gateway, it will return the output parameter as expected.

 

So my question is if anybody knows if this is a bug, a limitation or If I'm doïng something wrong?

 

Hope someone can help.

    Hi @KroonOfficeSol,

     

    When invoking a Stored Procedure on an on-premises SQL Server, we have the following limitations:

    • Output values for OUTPUT parameters are not returned. You can still specify input values for OUTPUT parameters.
    • Return value is not available.
    • Only the first result set is returned.
    • Dynamics schemas are not supported for result sets.

    Please check the following doc for more details:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sql/

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel

    Hi

     

    I got the output value using a function substring() with "Resultsets". For this operation, i had to create some variables before containing lenght about "Resultsets" and position number for some characteres to identify since and until. 

     

    Regards
