Create and use Stored Procedures in MS SQL

Create and use stored procedures in MS SQL within inputs that use rising mode.

Requirements

  1. Make sure you use Microsoft JDBC Driver instead of jTDS. Select connection types with MS-SQL Server Using MS Generic Driver as prefix.
  2. Avoid selecting the database using USE [<database>], as DB Connect won't be able to fetch the query metadata.

Create the Stored Procedure

When creating the stored procedure, you must make sure to receive the desired rising column as a parameter.

Example:

Given the sp_get_delivery as Stored Procedure under customer database and order schema: 

CREATE PROCEDURE order.sp_get_delivery
(
    @order_id numeric
)
AS
BEGIN
  SELECT * FROM order.delivery where order_id > @order_id ORDER BY order_id ASC;
END

Use the Stored Procedure

When creating the input in Splunk DB Connect use the EXEC command to execute the stored procedure.

Example:

Using the previously defined stored procedure. 

EXEC [customer].[order].[sp_get_delivery] @order_id = ?
