Using table Variable

    I have an requirement of inserting the output of "DBCC inputbuffer "

    into a table variable..

    I tried with the following query,

    DECLARE @T3 TABLE

    (

    A SYSNAME,

    B SYSNAME,

    [INPUT_BUFFER] NVARCHAR(1200),[SPID] INT NULL

    );

    INSERT @T3(A,B,[INPUT_BUFFER])

    EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL ('DBCC INPUTBUFFER(55)WITH NO_INFOMSGS')

    But the sql server prompts me that

    "Server: Msg 197, Level 15, State 1, Line 12

    EXECUTE cannot be used as a source when inserting into a table variable."

    I can accomplish the same using #tables (temporary tables ).

    Can any one suggest a way to accomplish the same using tables variables..

    Why so hell-bent on using table variables?  They live in the exact same place that Temp Tables do and have the disadvantage of not using statistics.  Use the Temp Table

    If you're trying to do this in a function, that's a whole 'nother story... personnally, I wouldn't try to do this in a function... perhaps a sproc but not a UDF.
