I want to use sp_executesql in insert statement but got an error:

declare @sql nvarchar(2000)
set @sql =
insert into tOrder (f1, f2...f20)
select f1, f2, ... f20
from tOrderOld
exec sp_executesql @sql

What is wrong?

Your example has syntax problems. Where's the single quotes for @sql?

It would be best if you posted your actual code and the exact error message.

declare @sql nvarchar(2000)
set @sql ='insert into t1(a) select a from t2'
exec sp_executesql @sql
it works fine, please check your code.
