Need help creating a stored procedure

To create the SP, you can try like this.

create procedure your_proc as 
begin
DROP TABLE DBO.WOMAST01B
DROP TABLE DBO.WOLABO01B

SELECT * into WOMAST01B FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOMAST01 where 1=0')
SELECT * into WOLABO01B FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM wolabo01 where 1=0')


INSERT INTO WOMAST01B
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOMAST01')

INSERT INTO WOLABO01B
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOLABO01')



DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'IV'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'CL'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'PA'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'HD'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'ST'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'EG'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'BK'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'RE'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'RR'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'DR'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'SC'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'ML'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'AM'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'TE'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = '12'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = '01'

DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP = 'QC'

Delete from WOMAST01B 
WHERE RECDATE = '1899-12-30'

Delete from WOMAST01B 
WHERE RECDATE < '2011-01-01'
end

Select allOpen in new window

Do you have lot of data to delete? Why don't you move all the filter conditions into one statement?

create procedure your_proc as 
begin
DROP TABLE DBO.WOMAST01B
DROP TABLE DBO.WOLABO01B

SELECT * into WOMAST01B FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOMAST01 where 1=0')
SELECT * into WOLABO01B FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM wolabo01 where 1=0')


INSERT INTO WOMAST01B
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOMAST01')

INSERT INTO WOLABO01B
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOLABO01')



DELETE FROM WOMAST01B
WHERE STEP IN ('IV', 'CL', 'PA', 'HD', 'ST', 'EG', 'BK', 'RE', 'RR', 'DR', 'SC', 'ML', 'AM', 'TE', '12', '01', 'QC')
OR RECDATE < '2011-01-01'

end

Select allOpen in new window

@Sharath: I think you need to execute DDLs as dynamic SQL statements. Your stored procedure may not compile as the tables WOMAST01B and WOLABO01B may not be available

Why dynamic SQL? "SELECT * INTO" shall create the tables. right?

Your code can be easily improved in one single command for each table:

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_MyProcName
AS
	DROP TABLE DBO.WOMAST01B
	DROP TABLE DBO.WOLABO01B

	INSERT INTO WOMAST01B
	SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOMAST01
		WHERE STEP IN (''IV'',''CL'',''PA'',''HD'',''ST'',''EG'',''BK'',''RE'',''RR'',''DR'',''SC'',''ML'',''AM'',''TE'',''12'',''01'',''QC'')
	   OR RECDATE < ''2011-01-01''')

	INSERT INTO WOLABO01B
	SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(ATQAV, 'SELECT * FROM WOLABO01')
RETURN

Select allOpen in new window

Hmm, doesn't that code give you only the steps that you would have deleted?!
