| Hi, i want to develop a reusable sp for creating tables. My question is how best can I develop the script so that I can run the sp to create for example one table with 3 fields and then re-run the script to create a table with 5 fields and so on? |

| Why would you want to do that?You will have to pass in the name, type, length, nullability, defaults, constraints for each column.Why not just write a create table statement.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

| it was a theoretical problem. Create statments are great, but if I could use a general purpose sp then maybe I could create the tables a little quicker. |

| Doubt it - you would have to type almost as much. There's not a lot of wasted characters in a create table statement.==========================================Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.DTS can be used in a similar way.Beer is not cold and it isn't fizzy. |

Are you planning to create the table dynamically ? That does not sounds like a good idea.
