Answer 1

Doesn't sound safe either way, why are you storing exécutables in a db to begin with? Who uploads them? Wether they're on the filesystem or not they're just as dangerous if malicious.

Are those .net exes? If so you could load the assembly into a child appdomain with security restrictions and i'm pretty sure you can do that without copying to disk.

For regular native exe i don't think it's possible to just launch an exe without a physical file backing it (even in the task manager you can see the path from which a program was launched)
