RoboTask forum

Hi,
I am trying to run a SQL query using "GO".
When I run the task in Robotask I get an error returned -

E: 05/01/2012 11:38:09: Error has occurred: Incorrect
syntax near 'GO'

The Query is correct as when I run it in SQL the script
preforms as expected.
Is there an alternative to GO I can use in robotask?

Send full text of SQL query that you use.
I'm afraid that this error message you receive from database engine.

BTW: what kind of database do you use?

USE MASTER
GO
DROP DATABASE DB_Name
GO

the db is SQL2008

Thanks
Thomas

This is a batch of SQL expressions. "SQL query" action is designed for use single expression like:
INSERT
DELETE
UPDATE
CALL
etc.

For example Oracle database allows to use simple trick - run dynamic procedure.
Like this:
BEGIN
   DECLARE CNT;
   select count(*) from table1 into CNT;
   update table2 set field1=cnt where id = 1;
END
This is not a batch, this is single expression.

But I'm afraid that many databases have no such feature.
We'll add the SQL Batch action in future.
