SQL Server (TSQL) - Is it possible to EXEC statements in parallel?

Question

SQL Server 2008 R2

Here is a simplified example:

EXECUTE sp_executesql N\'PRINT \'\'1st \'\' + convert(varchar, getdate(), 126) WAITFOR DELAY \'\'000         


        

Answer 1

If after reading all above about potential problems and you still want to run things in parallel, you probably can try sql jobs, put your queries in different jobs, then execute by calling the jobs like this

EXEC msdb..sp_start_job 'Job1'

EXEC msdb..sp_start_job 'Job2'
