Answer 1

I would use the sp_executesql command.

Some more documentation is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188001.aspx

Basically, you define a sql query, and parameter list, and then pass those in along with your actual parameters into that method.

So, something like this (real basic)

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.yourProc
  @customerId INT
AS
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(1000)
SET @sql = 'SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerId = @customerId'

DECLARE @params NVARCHAR(1000)
SET @params = '@customerId INT'

EXEC dbo.sp_executesql @sql, @params, @customerId
