    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". 🙂

    Yes, but nothing deals easily with that for-most-people unusual situation :-).

    One could extend the code to check for the current user's default schema, check it first, etc., but is it really worth the effort?
