Can I append a date into a table name ?

Such as:

select field1
into feeschedule_mmddyyyy
from feeschedules

where mmddyyyy is the current date.

Is this possible and how?

Thanks,
Marcie

Yes but only using dynamic sql like this:

declare @a varchar(2000)

set @a = 'select * into dbo.tbl' + convert(varchar(10), getdate(), 112) + ' from sometable'

exec(@a)
