first i created one stored procedure using cursor.

then i created dynamic sql query like this

sqlstr="select count(*) from " + @tablename

then i executed this query

exec(sqlstr)

It's executing fine my problem is to store the value in one variable for check the count. if zero then i will delete the table from database.

how to store the result in one variable.

if you know any other method please send me the code.

sql server version 8.00.194
windows xp
