I have a business process that requires someone to manually copy/paste calls to stored procedures into SQL Management studio… Most of these stored procedures dont even have parameters or result sets. So my question is, can we call these procedures from a page in SP without having to build something in Visual Studo? I picture something like a button (or even hyperlink) that a non-tech user can just click on. This would clean up and simplify this process massively.
Of course, also getting rows from procedure results back into SP would be ideal. Then I could set up some simple reporting (using existing stored procedures) for user feedback. So they know when to click the next button or whatnot 😉
Any ideas dear SP community?
Don’t want to rain on anyones parade but you should exercise caution. Anything outside of the permitted actions (see KB article below) are regarded as a deal breaker in terms of support. You should always use the Object Model or Web Service API. Check the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841057
