give me a example which uses both input and out parameter in stored procedure......with code and explanation.....asap......

paramesh

aparam

Not even a "please"?

Look in BOL under CREATE PROCEDURE.

CREATE PROCEDURE Production.uspGetList @Product varchar(40)
    , @MaxPrice money
    , @ComparePrice money OUTPUT
    , @ListPrice money OUT
AS
    SELECT p.[Name] AS Product, p.ListPrice AS 'List Price'
    FROM Production.Product AS p
    JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory AS s
      ON p.ProductSubcategoryID = s.ProductSubcategoryID
    WHERE s.[Name] LIKE @Product AND p.ListPrice < @MaxPrice;
-- Populate the output variable @ListPprice.
SET @ListPrice = (SELECT MAX(p.ListPrice)
        FROM Production.Product AS p
        JOIN Production.ProductSubcategory AS s
          ON p.ProductSubcategoryID = s.ProductSubcategoryID
        WHERE s.[Name] LIKE @Product AND p.ListPrice < @MaxPrice);
-- Populate the output variable @compareprice.
SET @ComparePrice = @MaxPrice;
GO

This forum is going to hell. What kind of topic is "topic"? Is there any way we can filter "help", "emergency", "please" out of the topic field. Everyone that posts here is asking for help or they wouldn't be posting a question. And I don't think anyone is going to answer any faster if you put "emergency" or "urgent" in the topic. In fact, the way things are going here you might even get less response. So topics like, "Please help me", "urgent", and "emergency" should get canned.

Good manners goes a long way, like saying, "Please" or "Any ideas would be very much appreciated."

All of this rude language is fairly new to this newsgroup within the last year or so.

I agree. I also think we could "help" out the forum is by ignoring those posts who don't who good manners (this from the who answered one with poor manners...slap on the wrist). Hopefully, they'll figure out why they aren't getting a response.

Sounds like a plan. Or just post a link to this or a similar thread so people at least understand *why* they are being ignored.

Want to be my colleague? Then check out this post.

If only it were that easy. That usually just sparks a "why aren't you experts helping me!??!" follow-up post.

Yes, and just one more thing. How about lending a helping hand and trying to resolve someone's problem and then we get the response, "Oh, I fixed it already", and then no solution is posted. Jeez, at least post your solution or tell us what dumb mistake you made. I make plenty and don't mind sharing them.

I know I've hijacked this "topic" but I guess all is fair in love and war. I've been lurking in the WROX forums for over five years. I stuck around cause it was the most vibrant, interesting and intelligent group around. Plus I think the WROX books are the best. I just hate to see the forums here to degenerate into the "Please help urgent emergency" sludge bucket. I've gotten so much "help" here and do try to contribute whenever possible in order to give back and help some less experienced folks get into the swing of things. I probably wouldn't have the job I have now if it weren't for this forum. I don't even mind posting code. Plenty of code was posted for me when I asked. That's how I basically learned to program, from code examples. I didn't just get class libraries and start coding.

OK. We're not helping you cause you need to do at least part of it yourself. There are tons of examples of stored procedures with input and output parameters on the Internet. I've never posted asking, "Please send me the code to query a database and attach the results to an auto-email script, emergency, help, urgent, my boss is looking over my shoulder, I got hired and I'm totally unqualified." But, I have posted queries here where I got stuck after spending hours trying to figure it out myself, including first searching the forums here to see if my topic has already been addressed. It doesn't even seem like people are even doing that anymore. I keep seeing the same posts over and over again.

Many people here have helped me immensely, including you guys who posted here on this thread. I am extremely grateful that you've given your time and energy.
