Hi,
There is a table exists in a database, I have to write a stored procedure to create the same table in different database, with the same column name and field. This should be done in runtime. Is it possible. The table will be passed as a parameter to the stored procedure.

USE [DestinationDB]
SELECT TOP 0 * INTO DestinationTable FROM SourceDB..SouceTable

create proc x
@TableName varchar(128) ,
@DBName varcgar(128)
as
declare @sql varchar(2000)
select @sql = 'select * into ' + @TableName + ' from ' + @DBName + '..' + @TableName + ' where 1 = 0'
exec (@sql)
go

That's if it's run in the destination database.

==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
