How to set value to variable using 'execute' in t-sql?

Solution 1:

You can use output parameters with sp_executesql.

DECLARE @dbName nvarchar(128) = 'myDb'
DECLARE @siteId int 
DECLARE @SQL nvarchar(max) = N'SELECT TOP 1 @outputFromExec = Id FROM ' + quotename(@dbName) + N'..myTbl'
exec sp_executesql @SQL, N'@outputFromExec int out', @siteId out
select @siteId

Solution 2:

The dynamic SQL is a different scope to the outer, calling SQL: so @siteid is not recognised

You'll have to use a temp table/table variable outside of the dynamic SQL:

DECLARE @dbName nvarchar(128) = 'myDb'
DECLARE @siteId TABLE (siteid int)

INSERT @siteId
exec ('SELECT TOP 1 Id FROM ' + @dbName + '..myTbl')  

select * FROM @siteId

Note: TOP without an ORDER BY is meaningless. There is no natural, implied or intrinsic ordering to a table. Any order is only guaranteed by the outermost ORDER BY

Solution 3:

You can try like below

DECLARE @sqlCommand NVARCHAR(4000)
DECLARE @ID INT
DECLARE @Name NVARCHAR(100)
SET @ID = 4
SET @sqlCommand = 'SELECT @Name = [Name]
FROM [AdventureWorks2014].[HumanResources].[Department]
WHERE DepartmentID = @ID'
EXEC sp_executesql @sqlCommand, N'@ID INT, @Name NVARCHAR(100) OUTPUT',
@ID = @ID, @Name = @Name OUTPUT
SELECT @Name ReturnedName
