I have this code for filtering data from table

SQL

create proc [dbo].[DataDetailsFilter_proc]

@filter varchar output

as
set nocount on

SELECT *
FROM DataDetails
WHERE FirstName = @filter

but it's not working

it gets back with nothing

FirstName is the name of the column and when I instead of @filter type this

WHERE FirstName = 'MYNAME'

then it works, but I need to type in that parameter

Hi,

You cann't use Stored Procedure in Select statement its incorrect syntax,

Exec DataDetailsFilter_proc 'MYNAME'

it will work.

Thats because your parameter varchar.. You have to set the size of varchar.Else it will take only one character..

Try this.

SQL

create proc [dbo].[DataDetailsFilter_proc]
 
@filter varchar(100) output
 
as
set nocount on
 
SELECT *
FROM DataDetails
WHERE FirstName = @filter
