Derived Columns in where clause
-
Hope this will help you
SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns WHERE COLUMN_NAME='YourColumnName'
I Love T-SQL "Don't torture yourself,let the life to do it for you." If my post helps you kindly save my time by voting my post. www.aktualiteti.com
It gives column details but not data for that column in specified table.

I Have Table with columns as 1,2,3,4,5 I need to write query like SELECT * FROM Table where columnName = 2. How can I specify column header in where clause
You don't specify the column in the where clause, you do it in the select clause as:
SELECT <COLUMNNAME>
FROM <TABLE>;"When did ignorance become a point of view" - Dilbert

Forgot to say, in SQLServer you can put squarebrackets
[]around stupid columnnames as a temporary fix."When did ignorance become a point of view" - Dilbert

Have you tried
SELECT COL2 FROM TABLE? You would get the content from that column like:COL2
bbb
yui
hgjkIf this is not what you need, then you need to elaborate more.

Andersson 'SELECT COL2 FROM TABLE' this is basic select query if i know the column name. In my case I don't the column names in table. so if table have column name with col2 then return result otherwise nothing.

The following discussion will answer your question : http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/3523731/Sqlparameter.aspx[^]
I don't like my signature at all
Thanks Estys but its dynamic query right. Is there any way to use built in key words like column_Name in where clause

Then you need to use dynamic sql as suggested by Estys.

a WHERE clause determines which rows are being returned. :)

The
WHEREclause isn't used to specify which columns you want to retrieve, but to limit the amount of records returned. It's a filter :) What you want to do can only be done using dynamic SQL. You'll have to know what columns you want to retrieve, or use a wildcard (*) to retrieve them all.I are Troll :suss:
