Let's say I have a stored procedure which returns a large set of data. Can I write another query to filter the result of stored procedure?
For example:
select * from
EXEC xp_readerrorlog
where LogDate = '2011-02-15'

For example:
select * from
EXEC xp_readerrorlog
where LogDate = '2011-02-15'
You would need to first insert the results of the stored procedure on a table, and then query those results.
create table #result (LogDate datetime, ProcessInfo varchar(20),Text text)
INSERT INTO #Result
EXEC xp_readerrorlog
SELECT *
FROM #Result
WHERE datepart(yy,LogDate) = '2012'
Does returning the error log for just an entire day make the result any more useful? I think it will still be full of useless entries. If you're looking for specific events, why not use one of the filter parameters for xp_readerrorlog? The following wil return all rows in the current log that contain the string 'fail':
EXEC xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, 'fail';
You can't make it part of a query, BUT you could insert the resulting data into a temp table or table variable and then use that for your query.
You can copy output from sp to temporaty table.
insert into #temp
EXEC xp_readerrorlog
and then use where clause with the temp table
or you can make a Table-valued Function
