在以前的SQL SERVER中，存储过程和自定义函数只允许传递标量参数。SQL SERVER 2008中允许定义自定义表类型，并传递给存储过程或自定义函数。
CREATE TABLE Inventory
(product_id int PRIMARY KEY,
product_name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
quantity int DEFAULT(0))
GO
INSERT INTO Inventory VALUES(1,'Meta flavored dog shampoo',150)
INSERT INTO Inventory VALUES(2,'Generic canine nail clippers',261)
INSERT INTO Inventory VALUES(3,'Canine paw scissors',89)
GO
现在我们创建一个用户自定义表类型，它描述了我们要传递给存储过程的表：
CREATE TYPE OrderType AS
TABLE(order_item_id int PRIMARY KEY,
product_id int NOT NULL,
quantity int NOT NULL CHECK (quantity>=1),
gift_wrap BIT DEFAULT (0))
我们创建一个存储过程，用到前面定义的表参数
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateInventory(@myOrder OrderType READONLY)
AS
BEGIN
UPDATE Inventory
set Inventory.quantity-=mo.quantity
From Inventory
INNER JOIN @myOrder mo
ON (mo.product_id=Inventory.product_id)
END
注意：READONLY标示表变量，不能省略
下面为调用的实例
DECLARE @myOrder OrderType
INSERT INTO @myOrder VALUES(1,1,10,0)
INSERT INTO @myOrder VALUES(2,3,5,0)
exec UpdateInventory @myOrder
