Unable to execute stored procedure throught sql server and also from code

Question

Here is my stored procedure. When I execute the below script in SQL Server I got this error :

Maximum stored procedure, function, trigger, or view nesting level exceeded (limit 32).

Code:

Create Procedure [dbo].[GetTotalProductWcnCrashes]

Somebody help me to correct above stored procedure, I am new to writing stored procedures.

And how to call the above stored procedure from C# code

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you are trying to call the same stored procedure recursively without any break condition (aka an infinite loop). In SQL server 32 is the max nesting level which is why you are getting this error. — Abhi, Apr 21 '14 at 10:34

Your stored procedure GetTotalProductWcnCrashes calls itself in a endless loop. How did you generate this stored procedure.

Having a general look at your stored procedure you only need the first select statement the rest of the stored procedure seems like some auto generated code from the SQL Management Studio when you select a stored procedure to execute. For some reason that was saved on top of your stored procedure.

Your stored procedure should be something like this instead. But bear in mind I dont your database.

USE [Reports]
 GO

 SET ANSI_NULLS ON
 GO

 SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
 GO


Create Procedure [dbo].[GetTotalProductWcnCrashes]
(
@DroidbugCount int,
@totalproductcrashes int out,
@Uniqueproductcrashes int out,
@SnsPL varchar(500) out,
@Startdate datetime out,
@Metabuild varchar(500) out,
@Rivabuild varchar(500) out,
@Appsbuild varchar(500) out,
@toatalWcnCrashes int out,
@UniqueWcnCrashes int out,
@TotalHours numeric(18,0) OUT,  
@Mtbf numeric(18,4) OUT,
@Cpth numeric(18,4) OUT 
 ) 
 AS

 BEGIN

SET NOCOUNT ON;


SELECT @SnsPL =   SnsPl.PL,@Startdate=SnsHeader.Startdate,@Metabuild=SnsHeader.Metabuild,
  @Rivabuild=SnsHeader.RivaBuild,@Appsbuild=SnsHeader.Appsbuild,
  @totalproductcrashes = SUM(CASE WHEN dbo.SnsResult.Crash like '%Yes%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
  @Uniqueproductcrashes = SUM(CASE WHEN dbo.SnsResult.UniqueCrash like '%Yes%' AND dbo.SnsResult.CR_ID is NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 END),
  @TotalHours = Sum(CAST(dbo.SnsResult.ResultDuration AS int))
  FROM dbo.SnsHeader
  INNER JOIN dbo.SnsResult ON dbo.SnsHeader.SnsHeader_PK = dbo.SnsResult.SnsHeader_FK 
  INNER JOIN dbo.SnsPl ON dbo.SnsHeader.PL_FK = dbo.SnsPl.PL_PK 
  GROUP BY dbo.SnsPl.PL , SnsHeader.Startdate ,SnsHeader.Metabuild,SnsHeader.RivaBuild,SnsHeader.Appsbuild

  END

  GO

Please bear in mind I dont have the database this example I put up might not be right but for sure your stored procedure is not correct and calls itself contentiously up to the maximum 32 nested call count.

Also to answer your question on the comments please follow this stackoverflow link to find out how to call a stored procedure using c#.

How to execute a stored procedure within C# program

I have added it to the answer have a look at the link – dmportella Apr 22 '14 at 08:22 — dmportella, Apr 22 '14 at 08:22
