Hi Girija,

No you can't do it. To create the query dynamically, there is a constraint in teradata. You, cannot use Select statement.

You can do something like this,

CREATE PROCEDURE sample_table(my_table VARCHAR(30),
my_database VARCHAR(30))
BEGIN
DECLARE sales_columns VARCHAR(128)
DEFAULT '(item INTEGER, price DECIMAL(8,2), sold
INTEGER)';
CALL DBC.SysExecSQL('CREATE TABLE ' || :my_database ||
'.' || :my_table || :sales_columns);
END;

The following SQL statements cannot be used as dynamic SQL in stored procedures:

- CALL
- CREATE PROCEDURE
- DATABASE
- EXPLAIN
- HELP
- REPLACE PROCEDURE
- SELECT
- SELECT - INTO
- SET SESSION ACCOUNT
- SET SESSION COLLATION
- SET SESSION DATEFORM
- SET TIME ZONE
- SHOW

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,
