Nop. During runtime, the application allocates memory, moves bytes to
that memory (that happen to be valid opcodes and arguments for that
architecture) and branches to it.

I am assuming here, but consider SQL code that is read as text by the
running application, then compiled into machine code and then branches
to the generated machine code whenever that stored procedure is invoke
during the running of that app.
