Thanks for all the replies...As Sean Lange suggested, I tried with temp table (instead of temp variable).
I faced these problems.
1. I have to build the sql statement. So I am using EXEC (@DynamicSQL) statement.
I am not able to get the data from temp table
DECLARE @DynamicSQL varchar(max)
set @DynamicSQL = 'select top 100 * into #SourceData from customers'
EXEC (@DynamicSQL)
select * from #SourceData
2. I need to get the column names of the temp table. Below statement is not helping me either...
select ',' + name
FROM syscolumns
WHERE id = object_id('#SourceData')
order by name
Thanks & Regards,
