Executing procedure for empty result set return

I am running SQL 2005, SP1.
Is there a way to execute a stored procedure (which returns a result set) and
instead of returning the result set, just returning an empty result set, or
in other words, what would be the column names of the result set?

you will have to modifiy the procedure.
add a paramter to it like @.IncludeResults and pass a 1 when you want
it to return results or a zero when you don't.
in the where clause of the final select statement in the procedure add
"And 1 = @.IncludeResults"
|||You can try SET FMTONLY ON.
