SQL: Select dynamic column name based on variable

Question

I have a Microsoft SQL stored procedure whose column name I want to set via a variable that is passed into it:

CREATE PROCEDURE [My_Procedure]
   @myDynamicC         


        

Answer 1

You could build your query into a string and use exec

CREATE PROCEDURE [My_Procedure]
   @myDynamicColumn varchar(50)
AS BEGIN
   EXEC('SELECT ''value'' AS ' + @myDynamicColumn)
END

Answer 2

EXEC ('SELECT ''value'' AS ' + @myDynamicColumn)
