Problem in creating stored procedure.

[priyamtheone]

I'm trying to create a stored procedure in MSSQL Server 2005 that'll perform the following jobs:
1) Create a login.
2) Create an user in TestDB database for the login created in step 1.
3) Assign the role 'db_generaluser' to the user created in step 2.

The login name and password for the login to be created will be supplied from externally through input parameters. If this procedure executes successfully it returns 0 else 1 to the caller through an output parameter.

When I try to compile it, it's prompting the following error messages:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_CreateLogin, Line 23
Incorrect syntax near '@loginname'.

Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_CreateLogin, Line 23
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

Msg 319, Level 15, State 1, Procedure sp_CreateLogin, Line 27
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'with'. If this statement is a common table expression or an xmlnamespaces clause, the previous statement must be terminated with a semicolon.

What's my mistake? Plz help. My code follows:

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

Try removing the default_schema parameter. If you left it blank, it will default to 'dbo' anyway.

Good luck!!!

Try something like

set @str = '
        CREATE LOGIN ' + @loginname  + 'WITH PASSWORD=' + @passwd +', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[TestDB], DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=[us_english], CHECK_EXPIRATION=OFF, CHECK_POLICY=OFF
 
        CREATE USER' +  @loginname + 'FOR LOGIN' +  @loginname + ' WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA=[dbo]'

Hope it will work.. didnot test though
