For Example 'My Name is *NAME*'In order to replace the text correctly I have to look up a row in a table that has two columns, say 'CODE' and 'VARIABLE'. For Example CODE = '*NAME*', VARIABLE = '@Name'What I have to do is replace the '*NAME*' part of the string in the variable with the contents of @Name, not the string '@Name'. I have tried several ways of doing this using sp_executeSQL with both input and output parameters, but no matter how I try I always come to point where I cannot get at the contents of variable @Name.Any Ideas ?I am using SQL Server 7.0, Windows NT SP3." |

| Where is the variable @Name defined?Where does it set?Look at www.nigelrivett.com - there are some examples of passing and retrieving variables using sp_executesql.If your table contains a reference to a variable name then I would try redesigning.At least put the contents of the variables in to a temp table with the variable name and contents as fields - then you can join on that table and use a simple replace statement.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |
