sp_execute does not support dynamic SQL query with more than 4000 characters












0















I am using sp_execute statement to execute a dynamic SQL query.



But sp_execute does not support dynamic SQL query with more than 4000 characters.



It is working fine with the EXEC statement, though.



Please suggest if you have any solution.



This is my code:



declare @a nvarchar(max), @b nvarchar(max), @c nvarchar(max), @d nvarchar(max)

select @d = 'a'
select @a = 'select top 1 name,''', @b = replicate(@d, 10000),
@c=''' from sysobjects'

SELECT LEN(@a + @b + @c)

DECLARE @s NVARCHAR(max) = @a + @b + @c

EXEC sp_execute @s
EXEC(@s)

You should use sp_executesql. It supports nvarchar(max). You may refer to here



But your issue is not so much with sp_execute but with the string @b. If you do notice, the following query gives len of 8036 and not 10036



SELECT len(@a+@b+@c)


The culprit is @b=replicate('a',10000) the length max at 8000. Replicate returns the same data type of a which is varchar



if you cast or convert() the string a to nvarchar(max), it will gives you 1000 characters



@b = replicate(convert(nvarchar(max), 'a'),10000)


or you may also try this



declare @d nvarchar(max)

select @d = 'a'
select @b = replicate(@d, 10000)
select len(@b)
