Understanding the EXEC Statement in T-SQL: A Deep Dive into CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL Behavior
Understanding the EXEC Statement in T-SQL: A Deep Dive into CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL Behavior Introduction to EXEC and CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL The EXEC statement in T-SQL is used to execute a stored procedure or an ad-hoc query. It allows developers to bypass the security benefits of stored procedures by directly executing dynamic SQL. However, this flexibility comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when dealing with the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL behavior. The CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL setting determines how null values are handled during concatenation operations in T-SQL.
