Parsing a SQL Statement as a parameter and executing it

Hi all,

I was just wondering if it could be possible to excecute a statement
which is extracted from variabele, Example:

declare @SqlStatement varchar (100)
set @SqlStatement = 'select * from company'

the @SqlStatement contains the actual sql query, is it possible some
how to straight away convert it into excecution?

I've tried:
exec @SqlStatement
but exec or execute are meant to be for procedures

Any idea?

It is possible but not usually desirable. Dynamic code execution has
potential implications for maintainability, reliability, performance,
security and testing. Most of the time there are far better alternatives.
