How can I get this function be working?

CREATE FUNCTION MyFunc

(

@.MyDate as datetime,

@.MyTableName varchar(50),

)

RETURNS TABLE

AS

RETURN

SELECT * FROM @.MyTableName Where myDate=@.MyDate

? You can't -- passing a table name dynamically would require dynamic SQL, and dynamic SQL is not supported in UDFs... Why do you want to pass a table name dynamically, anyway? -- Adam MachanicPro SQL Server 2005, available nowhttp://www..apress.com/book/bookDisplay.html?bID=457-- <JIM.H.@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:d565e7f4-4b5a-4e7f-989d-3e6299fbda2c@.discussions.microsoft.com...

Ok. Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to deal with many tables with different column names. Is there any way I can keep the result set if the following command and perform some other sql command on it?

EXECUTE sp_executesql @.SQLSelectString

-- forward the result set in a table so that other procedures can read it.
