    Declare @TableName  varchar(50)

    declare cursor

    open cursor

    fetch cursor

    while @@fetch_status = 0

    begin

    select *  from @TableName

    fetch next from cursor

    end

    I am getting error

    Server: Msg 137, Level 15, State 2, Line 55

    Must declare the variable '@TableName'

  • Hi,

    This cannot be the entire T-SQL script because it is incomplete. Anyway, to run the dynamic sql you can use the following method.

    while @@fetch_status = 0

    begin

    declare @cmd varchar(8000)

    set @cmd = 'select * from ' + @TableName

    exec sp_executesql @cmd

    fetch next from cursor

    end

    close cursor

    deallocate cursor

    Hope that helps,

  • Hello Karl

     

    i ran your code but it is giving me error

    declare @cmd varchar(8000)

    set @cmd = 'select * from ' + @TableName

    exec sp_executesql @cmd

    Server: Msg 214, Level 16, State 2, Procedure sp_executesql, Line 23

    Procedure expects parameter '@statement' of type 'ntext/nchar/nvarchar'.


    Regards,

    Papillon

  • Hi,

    sorry, declare @cmd as nvarchar(4000).

  • I'm curious as to what you're actually trying to do with this, Papillon. What is the cursor for?

    Anyway, you should probably read this...

    http://www.sommarskog.se/dynamic_sql.html#Dyn_table

    And be aware of this (which you can probably use instead of the cursor)...

    exec sp_MSforeachtable

        @whereand = 'and name like ''%sys%''',

        @command1 = 'select * from ?'

    Solutions are easy. Understanding the problem, now, that's the hard part.

  • Check out this script. It currently drops all triggers from a database but the script can be used as a framework for tasks where you have to loop through a table and create dynamically SQL statements.
