| What would be the correct syntax for this (I'm getting a syntax error):Select @myVar = Exec(@SQL)The var @SQL is dynamically created and executed and I want @myVar set equal to the result. It's similar to this line:Select @myVar = (Select top 1 myColumn From myTable)but with an Exec() function. Any ideas? Thanks for any help.RyanEdited by - rpieszak on 02/27/2002 14:06:39 |
