How to call nested stored create table procedures in Snowflake - snowflake-cloud-data-platform

Question

Looking for advice on how to correct these two stored procedures so that one will trigger the other.
Stored procedure 2 is designed to simply create Table 2:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_table_2()
returns string not null
language javascript
as
$$
var create_table_2 = `
create or replace table DATABASE.SCHEMA.TABLE_2
(
COL_1 string,
COL_2 string,
COL_3 date
)
;
`
var create_table_2_cmd = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: create_table_2});
var result = sql_create_table_2.execute();
return 'Table 2 created';
$$;
And stored procedure 1, which should be run first, create table 1 and then run stored procedure 2:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_table_1()
returns string not null
language javascript
as
$$
var create_table_1 = `
create or replace table DATABASE.SCHEMA.TABLE_1
(
COL_1 string,
COL_2 string,
COL_3 date
)
;
`
var create_table_1_cmd = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: create_table_1 });
var result = create_table_1_cmd .execute();
return 'Table 1 created';
var call_next_function_cmd = `
call create_table_2();
;
`
var call_next_func = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: call_next_function_cmd});
var final = call_next_func.execute();
$$;
The SQL code within the create_table_1() procedure executes without issue but does not call the create_table_2() procedure. Is there an adjustment to be made that can trigger this?

Answer 1

The return has to be moved to the end of stored procedure, at current position it makes the second call unreachable code:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_table_1()
returns string not null
language javascript
as
$$
var create_table_1 = `
create or replace table DATABASE.SCHEMA.TABLE_1
(
COL_1 string,
COL_2 string,
COL_3 date
)
;
`
var create_table_1_cmd = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: create_table_1 });
var result = create_table_1_cmd .execute();
//return 'Table 1 created'; -- << HERE
var call_next_function_cmd = `
call create_table_2();
;
`
var call_next_func = snowflake.createStatement({sqlText: call_next_function_cmd});
var final = call_next_func.execute();
return '...';
$$;
