Is it possible to execute a text file from SQL query?

Question

I have a number of generated .sql files that I want to run in succession. I\'d like to run them from a SQL statement in a query (i.e. Query Analyzer/Server Management Studi

Or just use openrowset to read your script into a variable and execute it (sorry for reviving an 8 years old topic):

DECLARE @SQL varchar(MAX)
SELECT @SQL = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET
    (   BULK 'MeinPfad\MeinSkript.sql'
    ,   SINGLE_BLOB ) AS MYTABLE

--PRINT @sql
EXEC (@sql)
