I want to declare a table variable and fill it with a select, without having to explicitly define its columns. Does T-SQL allow something like this:

    You can’t do it with a table variable since a variable has to be declared before it can be used, but you could use a temp table instead.

    SELECT * INTO #people FROM Persons;
