Question

I need to run a dynamic sql which uses table variable created in the scope of the parent. How do I pass table variable into dynamic sql in SQL2008 ?

Answer 1

Here’s an end-end example:

-- Define a custom TABLE type
CREATE TYPE IntegerTableType AS TABLE (ID INTEGER);

-- Fill a var of that type with some test data
DECLARE @MyTable IntegerTableType
INSERT @MyTable VALUES (1),(2),(3)

-- Now this is how you pass that var into dynamic statement
EXECUTE sp_executesql N'SELECT * FROM @MyTable', 
    N'@MyTable IntegerTableType READONLY', 
    @MyTable
