T-SQL How to create tables dynamically in stored procedures?

Question

Code like this, but it\'s wrong:

  @name        VARCHAR(10),
  @properties  VARCHAR(500)
AS
  CREATE TABLE @name
  (
    id  CHAR         


        

Answer 1

You will need to build that CREATE TABLE statement from the inputs and then execute it.

A simple example:

declare @cmd nvarchar(1000), @TableName nvarchar(100);

set @TableName = 'NewTable';

set @cmd = 'CREATE TABLE dbo.' + quotename(@TableName, '[') + '(newCol int not null);';

print @cmd;

--exec(@cmd);
