[trialproduct2004]

Hi all

i am new to sql server.

i want to write stored procedure in sql server to insert values into
two table whose structure is same.

either of this table

e.g insert into table1 values()...
instead of table1 i want to user variable name.

how can i use variable in insert query instead of exact table name.

You can't use variables instead of the table name.
One way would be to use "dynamic sql" (build a sql statement in a
string, and execute that).
But if you have just two tables, why not write it out:

if condition
insert into table1 ...
else
insert into table2

Easier to read and sp can be compiled (=faster).
