----------------------------------------------------------- From: SriSamp Message 4 in Discussion EXEC by itself can execute a string. So all you need to do is, form your sp_executesql as a string and give it as a parameter to EXEC. For example: DECLARE @sqlString1 VARCHAR(8000) DECLARE @sqlString2 VARCHAR(8000) SET @sqlString1 = 'sp_executesql ' SET @sqlString2 = 'N''SELECT * FROM authors''' EXEC (@sqlString1 + @sqlString2) Note that you can concatenate many strings of length 8000 effectively working around the length limitation. Beware of problems through quotes though :-) You need to test your string throughly...
