There are situations where a stored proc that returns multiple result sets makes a lot of sense.

Then there is the Sybase way, where not only stored procs, but normal SQL batches including lots of requests can be sent to the dataserver with one single request, followed by a simple loop to fetch the results.

This makes client-side programming elegant, as I can throw a Transact-SQL block with IF and WHILE clauses at the server and not have to add any special code to handle it.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
