I want to put code in a single line that will create a stored procedure that contains newlines.




  • Is that possible?

  • Do I need to use sp_executesql?

  • How do I escape newlines in a sql statement?

  • How do I escape newlines in a string?

  • So you need to include carriage return and new line characters in your stored procedure, but not in your CREATE statement?

Yes, you can do something like this with dynamic SQL:



DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = N'';
DECLARE @NewLine NCHAR(1) = NCHAR(10);

SET @SQL = @SQL + N'SELECT * ' + @NewLine + N'FROM sys.databases AS d ' + @NewLine + N'WHERE d.database_id > 4;' + @NewLine;

PRINT @SQL;
EXEC sys.sp_executesql @SQL;
