Select statement with variable as parameter for sql stored procedure

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I'm trying to pass an SQL Select statement with a variable to a stored procedure. But I'm getting the following error:

Must declare the scalar variable "@date".

Here is my Stored Procedure:

PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_ExecuteQuery]
@query nvarchar(150),
@name nvarchar(10)
AS
EXEC (@query)

...and here is how I execute the Stored Procedure:

EXEC sp_ExecuteQuery SELECT * FROM sqltable WHERE name=@name,'john'

The stored procedure has two (2) parameters:

@query = SELECT * FROM sqltable WHERE name=@name
@name = 'john'

Notice that the sql statement has a parameter named @name. The value of this parameter will be retrieved from the variable @name inside the stored procedure (which is john).

Unfortunately, I got the above error. I just want to know if this is possible. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks!

DON'T SHOUT. Using all capitals is considered shouting on the internet, and rude (using all lower case is considered childish). Use proper capitalisation if you want to be taken seriously.

Solution 1

you can write your SP as

SQL

Alter PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_ExecuteQuery]
@query nvarchar(150),
@name nvarchar(10)
AS
EXEC (@query + @name)

and your execute statement will be like this

SQL

EXEC sp_ExecuteQuery 'SELECT * FROM sqltable WHERE name=','john'
