Question

I’ve written the below code to set filepath column in my table as 'F:\DataMigration\Wise\DELTA_20121008\Attachments\SR\SR_1.txt'

where SR_1 is file_name column
      .txt is file_ext column from my table.

but after executing following procedure, I’m getting filepath column in table as

'F:\DataMigration\Wise\DELTA_20121008\Attachments\file_name.file_ext'

means It’s treating column names as string, how i can make it as column so it will
use values in that column.

alter procedure [dbo].[WISEMissingAttachmentReportGenerator]
(
@tablename varchar(255), @pathonlocal nvarchar(255)
)
as
begin
--step 1
exec dbo.proc_alter_table @tablename
--step 2
EXEC ('update '+ @tablename +
' set filepath = '''+ @pathonlocal + ' file_name'+'.'+'file_ext''')
EXEC('Select * from '+@tablename)
end

exec [dbo].[WISEMissingAttachmentReportGenerator] [WISE.Non_VP_Service_Request_Attachments_File_Check_Analysis],
N'F:\DataMigration\Wise\DELTA_20121008\Attachments\SR\'

Answer 1

Try;

EXEC('UPDATE '+ @tablename +
' SET filepath = '''+ @pathonlocal + ''' + file_name + '''+'.'+''' + file_ext')

Equal as;

UPDATE [YourTable] SET filepath = 'YourPath' + file_name + '.' + file_ext
