How to insert result of Stored Procedure into Temp Table without declaring Temp Table Columns

Question

I want to insert the values of stored procedure into a temp table without predefining the columns for the temp table.

Insert Into #Temp1 Exec dbo.sp_GetAllData @Name = 'Jason'.

How can I do this ? I saw an option as below but can I do it without mentioning the server name ?

SELECT * INTO #TestTableT FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;',
'EXEC tempdb.dbo.GetDBNames')
-- Select Table
SELECT *
FROM #TestTableT;

Answer 1

I could not find a possible solution without defining temp table schema and writing server name. So, I changed the code and the queries to handle with only known schema. Code example is as below

    CREATE TABLE #TestTable ([name] NVARCHAR(256), [database_ID] INT);
    INSERT INTO #TestTable
    EXEC GetDBNames

    SELECT * FROM #TestTable;

No-one said it had to be pretty:

CREATE PROCEDURE p AS
SELECT 1 as x, 2 as y, 3 as z

DECLARE c CURSOR FOR
SELECT 
name, system_type_name
FROM sys.dm_exec_describe_first_result_set_for_object(OBJECT_ID('p'), 0);
DECLARE @name sysname, @type sysname;

CREATE TABLE #t(fake int)

OPEN c
FETCH NEXT from c into @name, @type
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN

 EXEC ('ALTER TABLE #t ADD ' + @name + ' ' + @type)
 FETCH NEXT from c into @name, @type
END

CLOSE C
DEALLOCATE c
ALTER TABLE #t DROP COLUMN fake;

INSERT INTO #t EXEC p;
