Get column header from a table value
-
Does anyone know how to set the column name from another table's value?
I tried something like:
Select Col1 as (Select Coltitle from TableB where Bid = somevalue) From TableA
I get the following error
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Line 1: Incorrect syntax near '('.
Server: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'From'.
Does anyone know how to achieve the above?

I have two tables
Cst (for customers) and
Prd (for Products):
I will display the values of Product Code (PrdCode) with column title the 'CstFullName' that I get from Cst (Customers):
===================================================================
declare @S1 varchar(512)
declare @S2 varchar(255)
Select @s1 = c.name
from sysobjects o, syscolumns c
where o.id = c.id and o.type='U' and o.name='Cst' and c.name='CstFullName'
select @s2= 'select prdCode as '+ @s1+' from prd'
exec(@s2)
========================================================
The above is a workaround that I hope it will help you!

I think your Question is not properly justified,
It may be happen but i have no words to explain it ??
sorry

Amit you are right.
Andreas solution has the effect of returning the column name to the query string, when I was looking for a value in the table.
However, his approach, that is, to build up a querystring is what I was looking for. So I merely adjusted the code to fetch the relevant field from the table rather than the actual column name.
It works fine.
Thanks Andreas (poli orea
