Dynamic SQL

Dynamic SQL is a programming technique that allows for the creation of flexible SQL queries at runtime using string syntax. To execute dynamic SQL, one can use the stored procedure sp_executesql with a Unicode string prefix. The document outlines the steps to declare variables, set values, create dynamic SQL, and execute it using sp_executesql.

Dynamic SQL is a programming technique that could be used to

write SQL queries during runtime. Dynamic SQL could be used to


create general and flexible SQL queries.
Syntax for dynamic SQL is to make it string as below :
'SELECT statement';
To run a dynamic SQL statement, run the stored
procedure sp_executesql as shown below :
EXEC sp_executesql N'SELECT statement';
Use prefix N with the sp_executesql to use dynamic SQL as a
Unicode string.

Steps to use Dynamic SQL :


1. Declare two variables, @var1 for holding the name of the
table and @var 2 for holding the dynamic SQL :
2. DECLARE
3. @var1 NVARCHAR(MAX),
@var2 NVARCHAR(MAX);
4. Set the value of the @var1 variable to table_name :
SET @var1 = N'table_name';
5. Create the dynamic SQL by adding the SELECT statement
to the table name parameter :
6. SET @var2= N'SELECT *
FROM ' + @var1;
7. Run the sp_executesql stored procedure by using the
@var2 parameter :
EXEC sp_executesql @var2;

Example –
SELECT *
from geek;
Table – Geek
ID NAME CITY

1 Khushi Jaipur

2 Neha Noida
ID NAME CITY

3 Meera Delhi

Using Dynamic SQL :


DECLARE
@tab NVARCHAR(128),
@st NVARCHAR(MAX);
SET @tab = N'geektable';
SET @st = N'SELECT *
FROM ' + @tab;
EXEC sp_executesql @st;
Table – Geek
ID NAME CITY

1 Khushi Jaipur

2 Neha Noida

3 Meera Delhi
