Dynamic SQL has the following statements that are used exclusively in a dynamic program:

In addition, all statements that support cursors (DECLARE, OPEN, FETCH, UPDATE, DELETE) have dynamic versions to support dynamically executed SELECT statements.

This section is an overview of the four statements used in dynamic programs. Detailed discussions on using these statements to execute dynamic statements can be found in Execute a Dynamic Non-select Statement (see page Execute a Dynamic Non-select Statement) and Execute a Dynamic Select Statement (see page Execute a Dynamic Select Statement). Information about the dynamic versions of the cursor statements is found in Data Manipulation with Cursors (see page Data Manipulation with Cursors). In addition, information about the dynamic version of the EXECUTE PROCEDURE statement is found in Execute Procedure of the chapter “SQL Statements.”
