If you insist doing it "in single statement", how about this:EXEC (...).
If we'd agree this would qualify as a single statement, we're all set. Right? 😀
To "support my argument": BOL qualifies EXEC as a statement: ...SQL Server extends the EXECUTE statement...
In this vein, is a BEGIN .. END block considered a single statement?
