Answer 1

This is an old question, but I'd like to add a different answer all the same.

Try the following script (no cursor, no loop (according to execution plan)): (tested in MS SQL 2012)

-- Setting up test data/code    
SELECT  N'SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS AS C' T
INTO    #Code
UNION ALL
SELECT  N'SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES AS T'

-- Variable to hold the selected queries, seperated by CrLf. You can also add a "GO" or ";"    
DECLARE @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX) = CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)

-- Concatenate the selected queries together into the variable
SELECT  @SQL = @SQL + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + C.T
FROM    #Code AS C

-- Execute   
EXEC sys.sp_executesql @SQL

-- Clean up    
DROP TABLE #Code
