It neither puts in data nor takes out data.

Solution 1

I won't call it as an input or output parameter. WHERE[^] statement needs a 'search condition'. This means that WHERE statement needs at least the name of field and the value to search inside this field. Follow the link for further information.

Maciej is right, it is a search condition, but...if you write a SELECT into a stored procedure, it has to be an INPUT parameter: it can't be an OUT parameter, because the SELECT needs to get the information from it in order to execute, not load it with data as a result of the execution.

So if you must give it a "direction", it's an input parameter! :laugh:
