Here's an idea: let the proc get the schema name for you :-), then you don't even have to type it in at all!
create PROC [dbo].[sp_getrecords]
(
@TableName sysname
)
AS
declare @SchemaName sysname
select top (1) @SchemaName = SCHEMA_NAME(schema_id)
from sys.objects
where
name = @TableName and
type in ('u', 'v')
exec('select * from ['+@SchemaName+'].['+@TableName+']')
That works fine until you have a table with the same name in more than 1 schema and you want "the other one". 🙂
