I am writing a stored procedure that dynamically creates a SQL string, @SQLQuery. After I create this query, I need to execute the query and insert it into a table in the database while adding another column that specifies a unique ID for this particular insert. (Context: It is possible in this application that multiple groupings of data will be inserted into this table and I need to be able to differientiate between groupings at a later date. )

This issue is similar to this question except I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2008 instead of mysql. I have tried the solution there: 

INSERT INTO data_table_name
EXECUTE(@SQLQuery), @SomeID

but MS SQL Server 2008 doesn’t like that syntax.

Any ideas on how to do this in SQL Server 2008?

    You can store query result in table variable and then read from that with extra column and write to final table

    DECLARE @temp table (col1 int, col2 varchar(10), ....)

INSERT INTO @temp
EXEC(@SQLQuery)

INSERT INTO data_table_name
SELECT *, @SomeID FROM @temp

    You can also append @SomeID in your dynamic sql string.

    Example:

    SET @SQLQuery = 'SELECT *,' + @SomeID + ' FROM ' + @tableNameVar

    and then do this

    INSERT INTO data_table_name
EXECUTE(@SQLQuery)
