Stored procedures from MS Query

[Tomas Larsson]

Hi!

We're trying to call a set-returning stored procedure
from Excel (MS Query). To do this we type:

select * from getStudents()

(where getStudents() is the stored procedure).
The problem is that MS Query interprets this as if
getStudents was a table, and complains that there is
no table called getStudents(). How do we get around
this?

We would be very grateful for any help!

Create a dummy table and a rule that calls this function instead of actually
selecting the from the table.
