| Hi,Its better to use a stored procedure since you cannot insert the output of an exec statement in a table variable.you can store the output of your exec statement in a temp table in an SP and use select <column names > from <temptable> |

| You cant use Dynamic SQL inside a Function, the correct way is to use Stored Procedure as suggested. Without dynamic SQL, you can have a function that returns data as TableMadhivananFailing to plan is Planning to fail |
