re: execute rollback when getting column info from stored procedure that also executes updates about facil

[cmeeren]

The problem is that, whatever method the generator uses to figure out the structure of the select statement that gets returned, it actually runs the stored procedure and it makes changes to the data.

Yes, that is a (documented) feature.

Nevermind dynamic SQL. I remember now that in addition to procedures and scripts with dynamic SQL, stored procedures sometimes need this even if they don't contain dynamic SQL.

I'll implement the transaction rollback.

Another way to skin this cat would be to use a stored procedure parameter @isRuntime int = 0 and distinguish between "design time " and "run time", If @isRuntime = 0 then return an empty resultset with the same structure as the real one returned at "run time".

This should work, but it is a bit of pain, especially when the stored procedure is complicated.

Using a transaction that is rolled back seems like a good idea.

I assume the procedure is using dynamic SQL?

No, the stored procedure does not use dynamic SQL.

It simply modifies some rows, then it returns them in a temp table. The problem is that, whatever method the generator uses to figure out the structure of the select statement that gets returned, it actually runs the stored procedure and it makes changes to the data.
