Title : Information Returned by Stored Procedures.
Stored Procedures can return information in three different ways.


• One or more values can be returned using the stored procedure’s parameters, as long as the ‘OUTPUT’ keyword is used after each parameter declaration. This is similar in concept to passing by reference in VB or by pointer in C.


• All stored procedures can return a single integer value using the ‘RETURN’ statement, this is commonly used to return error codes, or perhaps an identity value allocated during an insert statement.


• The stored procedure can return one or more resultsets.
