I have this code in SQL Server 2022:
CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
ProductID INT,
ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES

exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
