SyntaxFix

[sql] Why do I get "Procedure expects parameter '@statement' of type 'ntext/nchar/nvarchar'." when I try to use sp_executesql?

The solution is to put an N in front of both the type and the SQL string to indicate it is a double-byte character string:

DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(100) 
SET @SQL = N'SELECT TOP 1 * FROM sys.tables' 
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQL
