bigquery execute immediate to call procedure

Question

I need to call procedure dynamically with dataset and procedure name

execute immediate "CALL `" || "project_name" || "." || "db_name" || ".procedure`()";

But it throws error

SQL created by EXECUTE IMMEDIATE contains unsupported statement type: CallStatement

How can I call procedure with execute command

Thanks

Answer 1

You can use the CALL statement part of your scripting. You don't need to wrap the CALL statement in execute immediate.

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "select 1";
CALL myDataset.UpdateSomeTables('someAccountId', retCode);

Answer 2

You can call a procedure dynamically with
execute immediate format("""call %.%.%""", project_id, dataset, procedure_name)

For a very special usecase I have once had to create a procedure that would dynamic call other procedures.
You can make a procedure like:

create or replace call_procedure_procedure(project_id STRING, dataset STRING, procedure_name STRING)
begin
   execute immediate format("""call %.%.%""", project_id, dataset, procedure_name)
end

then you call your new procedure with:

call call_procedure_procedure(project_id, dataset, procedure_name)
