    instead of

    EXEC sp_executesql @sql

    use

    EXEC(@sql)

    which has no limits on the query size, since it's not parameterized. ou are not passing parameters via sp+executesql, so you'd be good to go, i think.

    Extending this suggestion - you can also execute a string at the remote end with EXECUTE ... AT:

    EXEC('TRUNCATE TABLE mydb.dbo.' + @tablename) AT LinkedServerName

    “Write the query the simplest way. If through testing it becomes clear that the performance is inadequate, consider alternative query forms.” - Gail Shaw
