I miei utenti stanno trovando la soluzione "XML PATH" e stanno provando a usarla, ma non sono programmatori e si confondono. Invece di cercare di aiutarli a imparare a usare XML PATH, ho creato una procedura che prende il nome di una tabella e restituisce una stringa contenente il markup HTML per visualizzare la tabella come tabella HTML. La mia soluzione deriva dinamicamente i nomi delle colonne della tabella HTML dall'origine dati.
Esempio di utilizzo della procedura Tabella HTML
CREATE table ##foo (bar1 int, bar2 varchar(20), bar3 datetime)
INSERT into ##foo values (1, 'Abcdef', getdate())
INSERT into ##foo values (2, 'Ghijkl', '05/05/15')
DECLARE @tableHtml varchar(max)
EXEC dbo.HtmlTable
'##foo',
@tableHtml output
PRINT @tableHtml
La variabile @tableHtml contiene solo il markup per una tabella HTML, che è appropriata per essere inclusa in un corpo dell'email. Per vederlo da solo, devi avvolgere l'output con tag html, head e body.

Si noti che sto invocando la procedura "DataSourceCheck" per determinare che il parametro @data_source contiene il nome di una tabella valida. DataSourceCheck non deve essere una procedura separata: l'SQL potrebbe essere incluso direttamente nella procedura HtmlTable, ma lo tengo separato per modularità e riusabilità.
Esempio di utilizzo della procedura DataSourceCheck
CREATE table ##foo (bar1 int, bar2 varchar(20), bar3 datetime)
INSERT into ##foo values (1, 'Abcdef', getdate())
INSERT into ##foo values (2, 'Ghijkl', '05/05/15')
DECLARE @table varchar(200), @db varchar(50)
EXEC dbo.DataSourceCheck
'##foo',
@db output,
@table output
PRINT @db
PRINT @Table
Produzione
tempdb
##foo
Ora lascia cadere la tabella e guarda cosa succede:
DROP table ##foo
DECLARE @table varchar(200), @db varchar(50)
EXEC dbo.DataSourceCheck
'##foo',
@db output,
@table output
PRINT @db
PRINT @Table
Produzione
<br>Table ##foo does not exist or is improperly qualified.<br>

Ho anche una versione di HtmlTable che crea un file CSV da una tabella (anziché una tabella HTML).
