Hello,
I am trying to make a query like this :

SELECT field
FROM @tablename <---||
WHERE ...

In any way I have an error

[@tablename]
'@tablename'
"@tablename"

Sql server does not recognize the object name.

Thank you
Bye Pier

If you are using a variable then you can use EXEC method to execute statement dynamically.

For Example:

DECLARE @Table_name varchar(50)
SET @Table_name ='Emp'
--It should work
exec('SELECT * FROM ' + @Table_name)

Why do you want to pass table name as parameter?
