Mis usuarios encuentran la solución "XML PATH" e intentan usarla, pero no son programadores y se confunden. En lugar de tratar de ayudarlos a aprender a usar la RUTA XML, creé un procedimiento que toma el nombre de una tabla y devuelve una cadena que contiene el marcado HTML para mostrar la tabla como una tabla HTML. Mi solución deriva dinámicamente los nombres de columna de la tabla HTML de la fuente de datos.
Ejemplo de uso del procedimiento HtmlTable
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 variable @tableHtml solo contiene marcas para una tabla HTML, lo cual es apropiado para incluir en un cuerpo de correo electrónico. Para ver solo, debe ajustar la salida con etiquetas html, head y body.

Tenga en cuenta que estoy invocando el procedimiento "DataSourceCheck" para determinar que el parámetro @data_source contiene el nombre de una tabla válida. DataSourceCheck no tiene que ser un procedimiento separado: el SQL podría incluirse directamente en el procedimiento HtmlTable, pero lo mantengo separado para modularidad y reutilización.
Ejemplo de uso del procedimiento 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
Salida
tempdb
##foo
Ahora suelte la tabla y vea qué sucede:
DROP table ##foo
DECLARE @table varchar(200), @db varchar(50)
EXEC dbo.DataSourceCheck
'##foo',
@db output,
@table output
PRINT @db
PRINT @Table
Salida
<br>Table ##foo does not exist or is improperly qualified.<br>

También tengo una versión de HtmlTable que crea un archivo CSV a partir de una tabla (en lugar de una tabla HTML).
