  Trying to Use Table Data Type in Sql 2K, While I Use it directly in a Stored procedure, It works fine . But If the table declared is being populated using  a Dynamic SQL  The SP gives error while compiling itself.

  The Question is Are Table Data Types not usable in Dynamic SQL ?

  Here is the exmaple SP indiacting both the Sample Codes.

  --*********************

  Drop Procedure dbo.testTableType

  --******************

  Create Procedure dbo.testTableType

  as

  Declare @TestTable Table (testID nvarchar(25), TestDesc nvarchar(2000))

  Declare @TestSql nvarchar(2000)

  /* --- THIS IS THE PART WHICH DOES NOT COMPILE/WORK

  SELECT @TestSql = "INSERT INTO @TestTable SELECT au_id,au_fname From [pubs].[dbo].[authors] "

  EXECUTE (@TestSql)

  */

  /* --- THIS IS THE PART WHICH DOES COMPILE N WORK */

  INSERT INTO @TestTable SELECT au_id,au_fname From [pubs].[dbo].[authors]

  SELECT * FROM @TestTable

  return

  --******************

  EXECUTE testTableType

  --******************

  TIA

  Parag.

  should be single quotes ..

   

  SELECT @TestSql = 'INSERT INTO @TestTable SELECT au_id,au_fname From [pubs].[dbo].[authors] '

  EXECUTE (@TestSql)

  It is a cross session issue.

  Following code demo for that

  declare @sqlst varchar(1000)

  set @sqlst = 'declare @tbl table (au_id varchar(11));insert @tbl select au_id from authors;select * from @tbl'

  exec (@sqlst)
