2.Pass the table name.
3.Use cursor to fetch the coumn name.

People are telling me it is bad to put select * from <atable> in a view. I better should list all fields of the table inside the definition of the view. I dont know exactly why but some say: A select * from makes sql server does a table scan.

How can I place the results of a dynamically generated select statement into a (#) temp table? This has me stumped, any help would be greatly appreciated.
