Execute sql from select
Lets say I have a table with SQL statements. I want to execute them all.

```
create table sql_command(
   sql_text text
)
```

I know how to execute one SQL statement using `EXEC`, but I want to do it for all statements in database.

`exec (sql_command) from (select sql_text from sql_command)` don't work.
