Its not working anyway.
insert #temp exec revertMoves @billHall, @startdate, @enddate, @periodid
Gives me this error:
Invalid object name '#temp'.
Is there any other way to do this?
>IMO, you have to look at it proc specifically. I generally use functions to isolate complex functionality, especially if it is re-used throughout the application. For example, in one project we stored all times in GMT and converted it to the users selected timezone. We did this with a function that took the user's ID, looked up their timezone, and did the appropriate calculations.
