RE: sql, Using a variable or column name on a 'connect to'

Based on the documentation I would say I would be unable to use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, but I'll try

It is an executable statement that cannot be dynamically prepared.

CONNECT supports a variable name. But I wonder if that is only when
within a HLL.
I cannot get a CONNECT TO within SPL to support either a column name
or a variable.

Can you build the statement in a variable and use it with EXECUTE IMMEDIATE?
