OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Loading results into a temp-table
This technique allows you to:
Data output and retrieval options
• Specify one or more temp-table handle elements to retrieve stored procedure
result sets and have the DataServer load the result set data directly into the
associated temp-tables
• Have direct access to the fields defined in the temp-table
The temp-table approach maintains some separation between the data and the foreign
data source which allows you to process the result sets quite independent of its
database origin. Also, the result set definition is not contained within the schema
holder.
Unless you pass unprepared dynamic temp-table handles into which the result sets are
to be loaded, you still need to ensure that the temp-table record definition matches that
of the stored procedures result set(s).
Passing empty temp-tables with the LOAD-RESULT-INTO phrase generates temp-table
definitions dynamically based on a default mapping of data types. This method
provides a data retrieval method completely independent of the foreign data source.
The LOAD-RESULT-INTO method represents a highly efficient means to transfer stored
procedure result sets into temp-tables and provides significant performance gains over
other techniques used to accomplish this same goal.
Note: The proc-text-buffer and the special native views techniques use the basic
RUN STORED-PROC statement and are backward compatible to earlier versions
of ABL. The LOAD-RESULT-INTO phrase provides a new technique to populate
temp-tables directly in ABL.
