Executing a stored procedure to populate a table column? - sql-server

Question

Can I use the EXEC keyword to run a stored procedure to populate the QuestionScore column?
CREATE TABLE Question_Result
(
ResultID INT IDENTITY (10000, 1) NOT NULL,
QResultID VARCHAR (10) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'QRES' + CAST(NEXT VALUE
FOR non_identity_incrementer AS VARCHAR(10)),
QuestionScore DECIMAL (4,2) EXEC dbo.update_question_result_question_score(),
Assessment INT NULL,
DateTimeModified DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT SYSDATETIME(),
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED (ResultID),
FOREIGN KEY (Assessment) REFERENCES Assessment_Result (ResultID)
);
My stored procedure is:
CREATE PROCEDURE update_question_result_question_score (
#QuestionScore DECIMAL(4,2) OUTPUT,
#StudentAnswer NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT,
#AssessingAnswer NVARCHAR(MAX) OUTPUT
)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT *
FROM StudentAnswerQuestionScore
SET #QuestionScore = (SELECT Score FROM StudentAnswerQuestionScore)
SET #StudentAnswer = (SELECT [Student Answer] FROM StudentAnswerQuestionScore)
SET #AssessingAnswer = (SELECT [Assessing Answer] FROM StudentAnswerQuestionScore)
IF (#StudentAnswer = #AssessingAnswer)
INSERT INTO Question_Result (QuestionScore)
VALUES (#QuestionScore)
END

You can try to use function for your computed column. Hopefully below codes can give you some ideas:
use staging
go
create table Question
(
QuestionKey int identity(1,1),
QuestionDesc varchar(50),
AssignedAnswer varchar(50),
Score int
)
go
insert into Question
select 'Capital city of AU', 'ACT', 10
go
create function ufnAssignScore (#Question varchar(50), #Answer varchar(50))
Returns int
as
BEGIN
declare #return int
select #return = Score
FROM Question
where QuestionDesc = #Question and AssignedAnswer = #Answer
return #return
END
go
create table Answer
(
AnswerKey int identity(1,1),
StudentID varchar(50),
QuestionDesc varchar(50),
AnswerDesc varchar(50),
Score as dbo.ufnAssignScore(QuestionDesc, AnswerDesc)
)
go
insert into Answer (StudentID, QuestionDesc, AnswerDesc)
select 'a1', 'Capital city of AU', 'Mel'
union all
select 'a2', 'Capital city of AU', 'ACT'
go
select * from Answer
