Store Procedure

Hi All,

I would like to create a store procedure in SQL with input parameter is table's name so that i just change name of table when execute select statement.

Ex : Create Procedure TestTable @sTable varchar(25)
as
Begin
select * from @sTable
End

But this syntax is not correct, Any advise?

Thanks so much,

Thanh Nguyen

This is a Database Development issue, not a VB.NET issue.

You cannot have a variable for a table name in a SELECT.

You can build that SELECT statement into a @SQL varchar() variable - then:

EXEC (@SQL)

But dynamic SQL certainly takes away the advantage of a STORED PROCEDURE.

Why are you doing this?
