SQL server stored procedure return a table

A procedure can’t return a table as such. However you can select from a table in a procedure and direct it into a table (or table variable) like this:

create procedure p_x
as
begin
declare @t table(col1 varchar(10), col2 float, col3 float, col4 float)
insert @t values('a', 1,1,1)
insert @t values('b', 2,2,2)

select * from @t
end
go

declare @t table(col1 varchar(10), col2 float, col3 float, col4 float)
insert @t
exec p_x

select * from @t
