Question

I want to create a data type as a TABLE but I can’t use it in a local variable in my stored procedure (SQln Server 2008)

Create type myTableDataType as table
(
    field1 int,
    field2 int,
    field3 varchar(100)
)   

create Procedure myStoredProcedureTest
as
begin
declare @temporaltable as  myTableDataType 

.
.
.
.
end

in my declare sentence I got ann error "variable has an invalid data type"

Some idea where I’m wrong!!!

Thanks

You need a table variable:

create Procedure myStoredProcedureTest
as
begin
declare @temporaltable as table
(
    field1 int,
    field2 int,
    field3 varchar(100)
)    

.
.
.
.
end
