| I have a stored procedure that starts like this:...UPDATE Employees set depth=0, hierarchy=NULLUPDATE Employees set depth=1, hierarchy=right(@MaxPadLength + CAST(Employees.Parent AS varchar(255)),@DisplayPadLength) where Child = ParentWHILE EXISTS ( SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE Depth=0 )...I have many tables that have the same structure as the Employees table but have different names. I would like to pass the PS a paramater with the table name I want to process. My question is what is the correct syntax to use a parameter in place of the literals for the table name?Thanks |
