Use/Benefit of output parameter in stored procedures


Where do we need to use output parameter in a stored procedure?

Does anyone have any real time experience to share?

I searched a lot but not able to understand proper use of output parameter.


Solution

  • There are several good answers already, but one not mentioned is when you need the procedure to return more than one variable.

    Example: Searching for the highest salary a procedure might also return the I.D. of the person and whether they are still employed.
