Hi,
I have 5 tables in my database, WW01,WW02, WW03,WW04,WW05.
and i need to call them using sql command from my webform where i have a dropdown list to select these 5 tables. So if i select WW01 from the dropdownlist it should call the WW01 table from my database.
Any idea how should i do this?
this is how i tried but noy working..

"SELECT * FROM '" + list.SelectedValue + "'"

Are you sure you executed this?Probably you could try displaying the sql string before executing to check if its taking the correct value in buiding string. Also have you checked in Query analyser if query returns records? are you also sure if you're having correct schema for table? else you might try putting schema name also

select * from schemaname.tablename

you don't need to put the single quote around the table name. Use [ ] if your table name contains spaces etc
"SELECT * FROM [" + list.SelectedValue + "]"
