    Unhappy On the Fly Table Name and Columns

    I need help for the following query:
    -----------------------------------------
    It is about finding rank of student on the basis of Total Marks, Marks Of "Important Subject", and Registration Number:

    Table StudentMarks:
    ------------------------
    RegNo Name Sub1 Sub2 Sub3
    101 Stud1 30 40 50
    103 Stud3 40 30 50
    102 Stud2 30 20 20

    Ranking
    ---------
    1. Sum of marks
    2. If Sum is same then on the basis of the Marks Obtain in the Important Subject
    3. I the above two are same then the student having least registration number

    The query will be

    Select RegNo, Name, RowNum as Rank
    From ( Select RegNo, Name
    From StudentMarks
    order by (sub1 + sub2 + sub3) DESC
    , Sub1 desc /* Sub1 is the "Important Subject"
    , RegNo Asc
    );

    Question:
    Now the problem is I want to provide Table Name, and Subject Column names On the Fly i.e. that should be as an argument to the query.
    is it possible.
    Note: The number of subjects and the position of the "Important subject" may differ.


    Thanks

    Use dynamic SQL.

    Create a procedure which accepts table_name and subject(s) as input. Then build a query sting and use execute immediate option to execute the query and fetch results.
