Ram writes "How to use table variables to store the data from the EXEC sattement?

declare @t table (empid)
EXEC 'select empid from emp'

select * from @t

But it will throw error..
EXECUTE cannot be used as a source when inserting into a table variable.

So how to solve this? I donot want to use temp tables.

Thanks,

Why do you have the EXEC in there anyway? You can do a standard INSERT INTO instead. check BOL for details on that.

example:


INSERT INTO @tablevar
SELECT *
FROM tablename

-ec

If you want to store the output of Stored Proc execution in the table, use local temp table instead of table variable. If it is just an output of single query as your example suggests, better go for EC's suggestion.
