I have a simple dynamic SQL statement I want to run as a Computed Column Specification, but SQL Server 2005 doesn't seem to like it, no matter what I do with it. The statement is an EXECUTE statement with a string literal. When I C&P it into a query and swap out the column names for literal values, it works perfectly. Is it simply not possible to run an EXECUTE command in a CCS?

Thanks.

EXECUTE ('SELECT CAST(' + Data + ' AS ' + DataType + ')')
Data is varbinary(MAX) and DataType is varchar(16) (and I know that it will have valid entries for data types.)
