Q:

Swap two records excluding few columns using stored procedure in SQL Server 2000/2005

How to create a stored procedure (for SQL Server 2000 / 2005) to swap 2 records excluding a few columns, it has to get "table name", "record id (2 id)" and "column to exclude" as a parameter. Here columns are dynamic as we get 'table' as a parameter and number of columns may be more than 50.  
Here I believe, "update [table name] set [field] = [value] ......"
Type statements will be very lengthy as the number of columns will be more than 50 and it is a variant.    
Is there any simple way to swap records in SQL Server 2000/2005?
