Ok,

so what happens if you run this: I get a value of 5 being returned for @count

declare @count int

set @count = 0

select @count = @count + 1 from Dating

select @count

I am getting 1.

That's strange. Can't explain it. What version of SQL are you on? I've tested this on SQL Server 2000 and 2005, with various different compatibility levels (down to 70) and I get the same answer, 5.

Is there another database you can try this on - just as a test?

My Team is using SQL2000 and Sybase12.5.3.

It is not working in Sybase12.5.3.

But the thing is, Sybase and Sqlserver are almost same in some generic query execution.

if we take our situation we are not using any sqlserver based functions.

Please let me know what could be the problem ?

Ohhh... my God. Why didn’t you highlight it earlier, that you were trying this example in Sybase? Then what about the example execution in SQL Server? Does it returning the proper resultset?

I can't help but see the funny side of this:D

There we all were scratching our heads as to why this wasn't working and it turns out it was working. Just not on sybase:hehe:

Ok, how about this (and what do I win?):

declare @Dating table

(

Date varchar(25)

)

insert into @Dating

select '01/JAN/2008'

union all

select '02/JAN/2008'

union all

select '03/JAN/2008'

union all

select '04/JAN/2008'

union all

select '05/JAN/2008'

declare @cmd varchar(8000)

declare @comma varchar(1)

declare @num int

set @comma = ''

set @cmd = 'SELECT '

set @num = 1

select @cmd = @cmd + @comma + quotename(date,'''') + ' as ' + quotename(Date)

,@comma = ','

from @dating

exec (@cmd)

set @comma = ''

set @cmd = 'SELECT '

set @num = 1

select @cmd = @cmd + @comma + quotename(date,'''') + ' as C' + convert(varchar,@num)

,@comma = ','

,@num = @num + 1

from @dating

exec (@cmd)
