SQL

CREATE PROCEDURE Procedure1
	@tableTypeItem MyTblType readonly
AS

	UPDATE v
		SET ONE=vi.ONE, TWO=vi.TWO
		FROM Table AS v JOIN @tableTypeItem AS vi ON v.ONE=vi.ONE
	WHERE
		v.ONE=vi.ONE

	exec Procedure2 ONE, THREE
GO

How can i access ONE and THREE (included in TableTYpe) from the exec line?

What I have tried:

I have tried to use a join, and also i tried out a declare on top of the exec. But it says me, that it is already declared.

Solution 2

In SQL Server the table name cannot be variable. I believe it is to protect from SQL injection or other attacks.

The solution would be to parse your input argument yourself. Then construct the sql you want into a varchar variable. Once built you can run EXEC on that varchar variable.

Good Luck

The OP is using table-valued parameters[^].

Suggesting they switch to parsing a string and constructing dynamic SQL "for security reasons" must be a joke, right?!

Thats right. I spend time and googled further. Currently it looks like i have to change the Procedure2 to accept the table-Parameter and read it there.
