Getting result of dynamic SQL into a variable for sql-server

Viewed 195057

Executing dynamic SQL as follows in Stored Procedure:

DECLARE @sqlCommand nvarchar(1000)
DECLARE @city varchar(75)
SET @city = 'London'
SET @sqlCommand = 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM customers WHERE City = @city'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand, N'@city nvarchar(75)', @city = @city

How do I use the count(*) column value as return value in the SP?

    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[ReseedTableIdentityCol](@p_table varchar(max))-- RETURNS int
    AS
    BEGIN
        -- Declare the return variable here
       DECLARE @sqlCommand nvarchar(1000)
       DECLARE @maxVal INT
       set @sqlCommand = 'SELECT @maxVal = ISNULL(max(ID),0)+1 from '+@p_table
       EXECUTE sp_executesql @sqlCommand, N'@maxVal int OUTPUT',@maxVal=@maxVal OUTPUT
       DBCC CHECKIDENT(@p_table, RESEED, @maxVal)
    END


exec dbo.ReseedTableIdentityCol @p_table='Junk'
