Pranali writes "I am trying to Insert into a table by selecting records by a Select query from a different database

CREATE PROCEDURE InsertTemp3M @dbName varchar(30),@TabName varchar(30), @strSQL varchar(1000) out(checking the query)
AS

Declare @SQL VarChar(2000)

SELECT @SQL='INSERT INTO ' + @TabName + '(' + ' batchNumber' + ')'
SELECT @SQL = @SQL + ' SELECT convert(int,ascii(' + "'batchNumber'" + ')) FROM ' + @dbName +'.dbo.indexFile'
select @sql = ascii(@sql)
return @SQL
EXEC sp_executesql @SQL


The parameters are passed thru VB .
This sp runs fine without any error both in sp and query analyser ,but no records are added to the database
dbname is used for selecting records from diff database and added to tables in current database.

1.if I remove the ascii conversion above gives me error
245 Syntax error converting the %ls value '%.*ls' to a column of data type %ls.

2.same error if I dont use convert ..

3.this is a truncated query its very lomg but I cut it short for testing.

4.The batchnumber field is int in both tables source and destination.

Please HELP

Thanks,
Pranali"

return @SQL
This will return from the SP without doing the exec.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
