| Hi,Not sure title is right but I have a normal query which is roughly:select * from table wherehost in ('machine1', 'machine2')I want to create a dynamic query where the table name changes but the rest is the same. I'm having trouble working out how to do the IN statement as the quotes cause syntax errors:SET @sql ' select*from '+@table+' where host in ????? ' exec (@sql)So the only dynamic bit is the table.Any help is appreciated! |

Escaping the single quotes with another single quote but not the needed first and last...SET @sql ' select * from '+@table+' where host in (''machine1'', ''machine2'')'
