What is the .sql file doing? Why are you wanting to execute SQL from a file in a (shared) file path? Is it so that it can be dynamic? Is it procedurally generated perhaps? There are far safer ways than just executing a .sql file. Like John said, if anyone has access to modify it, they could easily do a huge amount of damage.

+ 1,000,000 to that!

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
