I have around 60 databases that I am querying against that have the same tables; however, I want the result of my query to be inserted into a temp table so that I can create a well formatted report using the result stored in that temp table. How do I achieve that? Below is my query that loops through each database and run the query to select all active orders:

SQL

DECLARE @db_name Varchar(100)

DECLARE @SQL Varchar(3000)

DECLARE c_db_names CURSOR FOR
SELECT name 
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE name NOT IN('master','AdventureWorks2008','TestDB','Development','Northwind') --might need to exclude more databases

OPEN c_db_names

FETCH c_db_names INTO @db_name

WHILE @@Fetch_Status = 0
BEGIN   

SET @SQL = 'SELECT OrderID, OrderStatus, OrderDetails, FulfillmentDate, ShippingDate , AddDate from 
       '+ @db_name +'.dbo.ActiveOrders inner join '+ @db_name +'.dbo.FinalShipmentNumbers on '+ @db_name +'.dbo.ActiveOrders.OrderDetails = 
       '+ @db_name +'.dbo.FinalShipmentNumbers.OrderID where addDate between ''1/30/2016'' and ''2/26/2016'''

SELECT @db_name As Client_Name
EXEC(@SQL)      
FETCH c_db_names INTO @db_name
END

CLOSE c_db_names
DEALLOCATE c_db_names

Just include the creation of the temporary table and put an INSERT statement into your dynamic SQL

Please try this way:

SQL

DECLARE @c_db_names AS TABLE
(
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),
name sysname
)

DECLARE @Records AS TABLE
(
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1),
name sysname,
OrderID NVARCHAR(10), 
OrderStatus NVARCHAR(10), 
OrderDetails NVARCHAR(10), 
FulfillmentDate DATETIME, 
ShippingDate DATETIME, 
AddDate DATETIME
)


DECLARE @SQL NVarchar(3000)
DECLARE @ID INT
DECLARE @DBName sysname

SET NOCOUNT ON

INSERT @c_db_names
SELECT name 
FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases
WHERE name NOT IN('master','AdventureWorks2008','TestDB','Development','Northwind') --might need to exclude more database

SELECT @ID = COUNT(1) FROM @c_db_names

WHILE (@ID > 0)

	BEGIN

		SELECT @DBName = name
		FROM @c_db_names
		WHERE ID = @ID
		SET @ID = @ID - 1

		SET @SQL =    'SELECT ''' + @DBName + ''' AS [Name], AO.OrderID, AO.OrderStatus, AO.OrderDetails, FS.FulfillmentDate, FS.ShippingDate, FS.AddDate' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) 
					+ 'FROM ' + @DBName +'.dbo.ActiveOrders AS AO ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) 
					+ 'INNER JOIN '+ @DBName +'.dbo.FinalShipmentNumbers AS FS ' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) 
					+ 'ON' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
					+ ' AO.OrderDetails = FS.OrderID where addDate between ''1/30/2016'' and ''2/26/2016'''  + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)+ CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

	   PRINT @SQL;
	   INSERT INTO @Records
	   EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @SQL

	END

SET NOCOUNT OFF
SELECT * FROM @Records
