In this article, you will know about the error “Msg 11555 NOT NULL parameters are only supported with natively compiled modules, except for inline table-valued functions.” Also, we will discuss why this error arises and what things to do to resolve this error.
Problem
Recently, I was working with the SQL Server Stored Procedure Parameters. I was trying to implement the NOT NULL constraint with the stored procedure parameters.
Basically, I wanted to ensure that the stored procedure parameters do not contain a NULL value. Therefore, I was trying to apply the NOT NULL constraint to the stored procedure parameters. I wrote the SQL code as:
USE master
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestProcedure @ID int NOT NULL
AS
BEGIN
SELECT * FROM dbo.Student WHERE [College ID]= @ID
END

The error can also come as not null parameters are only supported with natively compiled stored procedures.
- Later, I realized that this is the incorrect way.
Msg 11555 NOT NULL parameters are only supported with natively compiled modules, except for inline table-valued functions Solution:
- I wanted to verify that stored procedure parameter does not contain a NULL value.
- The correct way of doing this is to verify this thing in the stored procedure body, not at the time of parameter declaration.
- Here is how:
USE master
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.TestProcedure @ID int
AS
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
IF @ID IS NOT NULL
SELECT * FROM dbo.Student WHERE [College ID]= @ID
ELSE
RAISERROR('NULL Value is passed',15,1)
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
PRINT('A Null Value is passed')
END CATCH
END
- It is a good approach to verify the NULL value in this way using exception handling.
- If the value passes is NULL, the stored procedure will throw an error.
