How to pass more than one id to stored procedure

Question

I have a query in a store procedure like this:

CREATE PROCEDURE DELETEREP (@id INT) 
AS 
    DELETE FROM TABLE 
    WHERE  ID = @id 

Now I want to execute this store procedure from another stored procedure like this:

exec(Deleterep) from here i want to pass multiple ids like 

where  id in (selec id from table2)

I want to pass multiple ids to the SP. I don't want to call store procedure multiple time, using cursor or loop, I want to avoid it.

Can someone give me an idea of how to proceed?

Answer 1

you can use XML as Devart suggested, but here's two more options.

Comma separated list (you can split it with other methods, I've used convert to xml just here):

create procedure usp_test1(@list nvarchar(max))
as
begin
    declare @data xml

    select @data = cast('<id>' + replace(@list, ', ', '</id><id>') + '</id>' as xml)

    select *
    from test
    where id in
      (
          select t.c.value('.', 'int') as a
          from @data.nodes('id') as t(c)
      )
end

or user-defined table type:

create type list as table (id int primary key)

create procedure usp_test2(@list list readonly)
as
begin
    select *
    from test
    where id in (select id from @list)
end

Answer 2

you can directly use this in definition of SP

CREATE PROCEDURE DELETEREP (@id INT,@id1 int,@id2 int) 
AS 
    DELETE FROM TABLE 
    WHERE  ID in (@id,@id1,@id2)

If you are taking these id's from table just declare a #temp table or table variable

Like

CREATE PROCEDURE DELETEREP 

AS 

    Declare @TEMP_TABLE TABLE ( ID INT)

    INSERT INTO @TEMP_TABLE select id from table2

        DELETE FROM TABLE 
        WHERE  ID in (SELECT ID FROM @TEMP_TABLE)

OR YOU CAN Directly use your table2 in SP

Please let me know if this is of any help.

Try this one -

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.usp_DELETEREP 
(
    @XML XML
) 
AS BEGIN

    DELETE FROM dbo.[TABLE] 
    WHERE ID IN (
        SELECT t.c.value('.', 'BIGINT')
        FROM @XML.nodes('/data/id') t(c)
    )

END

GO

DECLARE @XML XML
SELECT @XML = '
<data>
    <id>1</id>
    <id>2</id>
</data>'

EXEC usp_DELETEREP @XML = @XML
