Why do I get this error
Procedure expects parameter '@statement' of type 'ntext/nchar/nvarchar'.
when I try to use sp_executesql
?
Sounds like you're calling sp_executesql with a VARCHAR statement, when it needs to be NVARCHAR.
e.g. This will give the error because @SQL needs to be NVARCHAR
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(100)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT TOP 1 * FROM sys.tables'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL
So:
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(100)
SET @SQL = 'SELECT TOP 1 * FROM sys.tables'
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL
