How should i execute and get the result of a query which is stored in a column as a data value

Question

How do I execute a Sybase query which is stored in a column of another Sybase table?

Suppose that "SELECT COLa FROM TABLE_A" is stored in a column called 'command' in a separate table (table_log). I want to find a way that allows me to execute this query and get the answer.

Answer 1

Try looking for

execute immediate

I'm not familiar with sybase but in Oracle it would be something like the following:

declare
    query varchar2(1000);
begin
    select val from saved_query into query;
    execute immediate query;
    commit;
end;
