)');Microsoft SQL Server EXEC Query - Shopify Example (Handling larger SQL text)
The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements, which often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).
Fortunately, there is a solution. Starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT your_linked_server syntax. Following examples shows how to Create a new product in Microsoft SQL Server using EXEC Query.
