i would like to create a temp table and insert values into the temp table in a store procedure, is it possible?, i have tried it as follows
create procedure mype
as
DECLARE @a varchar(100)
set @a= 'create table #mytable
( itemcode varchar(15),
itemname varchar(50),
unitname varchar(15),
unitprice money
)'
exec @a
.....
exec mype
...
but, shows an error message:
"Server: Msg 2812, Level 16, State 62, Line 10
Could not find stored procedure 'create table #mytable
( itemcode varchar(15),
itemname varchar(50),
"
can any one help me?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This should work...
alter procedure mype
as
DECLARE @a varchar(200)
set @a= 'create table #mytable
( itemcode varchar(15),
itemname varchar(50),
unitname varchar(15),
unitprice money
)'
exec (@a) -- add ( and ) around the @a
I've increased the variable size to 200 since it looks like your original string is 101 characters long and this is truncating the last bracket of the create table...

But why do you want to create the temp table in two steps, is there any specific reason, you can as well create it with the
CREATE table #mytable (column1 datatype ) syntax directly right? Sorry if I am missing anything here. Well if you are passing the table structure as input parameter to the sp and executing it then it is a different case though.
Thanks
