sql server programming:
Do you mean take @tablename as parameter?

If the number of tables is small and well-defined:

IF @table_name = 'foo'
SELECT * FROM foo
IF @table_name = 'bar'
SELECT * FROM bar

If the number of tables is large or unknown:

No, you could learn basic software engineering and write properly
structured modules that have high cohesion instead.

constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, datatypes, etc. in your

You don't need a "full-blown programming language" to write and design
sensibly.

But SQL Server's stored procedures after all is not a full-blown
programming language.
