Create table with cursor data as columns
-
Hi all,
Here i have one question that
I am fetching some names through the cursor.
Now i want to create one table columns with that names.
For ex: If the cursor returns XYZ,ABC then want to create table with xyz and abc are columns names
Like:Create table tab1(xyz varchar(100),abc varchar(100))
Could any one help on this?
Thanks,
Bagath

Dynamic SQL. Build up the create table statement as you un through the cursor, then execute the statement. Something like the following (rough pseudo-code)
SET @Creation = 'CREATE TABLE MYTable ('
Fetch next from myCursor into @columnName
WHILE @@Fetch_Status=0
begin
set @Creation =@Creation + @columnName + ' VARCHAR(50), '
Fetch next from myCursor into @columnName
END
SET @Creation = LEFT(@Creation, LEN(@creation-2) + ')'
EXEC (@Creation)
