I need to convert the following query to a stored procedure..

Select distinct empskill.tcatid,Coalesce(prm,0) as prm,coalesce(secn,0) as secn,a as technology,coalesce(skd,0) as skd,coalesce(knd,0) as knd,coalesce(tnd,0)as tnd,coalesce(dnd,0) as dnd from empskill RIGHT OUTER JOIN (select tcatid,Count(skilltypeid) AS prm from empskill where skilltypeid=1 group by tcatid) prms ON empskill.tcatid=prms.tcatid LEFT OUTER JOIN (select tcatid,Count(skilltypeid) AS secn from empskill where skilltypeid=2 group by tcatid) secs on empskill.tcatid=secs.tcatid RIGHT OUTER JOIN (select technology.category as a,empskill.tcatid from empskill,technology where empskill.tcatid=technology.tcatid group by empskill.tcatid,technology.category ) s ON empskill.tcatid=s.tcatid LEFT OUTER JOIN (select tcatid,Count(skilllevelid) AS skd from empskill where skilllevelid=1 group by tcatid) skds on empskill.tcatid=skds.tcatid LEFT OUTER JOIN (select tcatid,Count(skilllevelid) AS knd from empskill where skilllevelid=2 group by tcatid) knds on empskill.tcatid=knds.tcatid LEFT OUTER JOIN (select tcatid,Count(skilllevelid) AS tnd from empskill where skilllevelid=3 group by tcatid) tnds on empskill.tcatid=tnds.tcatid LEFT OUTER JOIN (select tcatid,Count(skilllevelid) AS dnd from empskill where skilllevelid=4 group by tcatid) dnds on empskill.tcatid=dnds.tcatid union select top 1 500 as tcatid,'' as prm,'' as sec,'more' as technology,'' as skd,'' as knd,'' as tnd,'' as dnd from empskill

hope some one help me in this regard
thanks in advance

You can create procedure as follows:

USE DBName;
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_name
AS
    -- SQL Statement
GO

Step 1: Format and document your code well enough so that you and others will actually be able to easily read it and troubleshoot it 6 months from know when you've forgotten how it works.

Step 2: Once you format it correctly, you'll see all the performance problems that come to bear in the form of correlated sub-queries and joins that return too many rows (which is why you have to use DISTINCT). Fix them.

Step 3: Read Books Online for CREATE PROCEDURE.
