Generic Stored procedure

Hi All!

i want to retrieve reults from table "tblCategory" by passing

search string as parameter and column name as parameter as well.

CREATE Procedure uspSearchCategory

(

@.Search nvarchar(255),

@.column varchar(100)

)

AS

SELECT

*

FROM

tblCategory

WHERE

@.column LIKE '%' + @.Search+'%'

This doesn't work as @.column in last line is incorrect. Can anybody tell me how can i achieve that.

If i write

name LIKE '%' + @.Search+'%' or

ID LIKE '%' + @.Search+'%'

it works.But can it works as general for ant column name i pass as @.column.

thanx

You need to turn your query into a string, then run the string using code like this:

exec sp_executesql @.query

where @.query is the nvarchar that contains the SQL to run
