Hello all...

My question today deals with creating a 'Calculated Column Name'

For example, I want to run a simple select statement that returns one column having the column name equal to a dynamic value...

SUM(CASE quarter WHEN 1 THEN amount ELSE 0 END) as getdate()-1
FROM qtrsales q
GROUP BY year

I would like the column name to display a date calculation.

Any Ideas?

thanks....

declare @sql varchar(8000)

set @sql = 'select getdate() as c_' + convert(varchar(10),getdate(),112) + ' from don_to_sql_names'
exec(@sql)
