variable for table name in stored procedure

[ishakteyran]

hi all;
i am using a db2 database on RAD platform and need to generate tables (names of them will be determined by users.) so i thought i can do this with a stored procedure which takes the table name as input. but i live difficulty with usimg the table name ..

create procdure proc1 (IN inName VARCHAR(30))
BEGIN
Create TAble inName(this is table name variable) (and the rest of the table definition..)
END

the code snippet above did not work then i tried to use the input variable after @ character but it did not work also..

any suggestions to achieve this?

thank you all.. :)

You can try following code:

CREATE PROCEDURE  proc1 (IN inName VARCHAR(30))
BEGIN
    DECLARE param VARCHAR(1000);
 
        SET param = 'Create Table ' || inName || '(a INT)';
 
        PREPARE s1 FROM param;
        EXECUTE s1;
 
END@
