Question

I am trying to execute a sql query which will create a new table in sql database. When I am doing this:

string queryString = @"
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[peep_searchresults_live](
    [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [SKU] [varchar](150) NULL,
    [ManufacturerBrand] [varchar](150) NULL,
);

The query gets executed just fine and the table gets created in the database.

But when I am trying this:

string queryString = @"
            SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[peep_searchresults_live](
    [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [SKU] [varchar](150) NULL,
    [ManufacturerBrand] [varchar](150) NULL,            
 CONSTRAINT [PK_peep_searchresults_live] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED 
(
    [id] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

GO

SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO";

I am receiving error like this one:

SQL server doesn’t understand what GO is – only the query analyzer knows (eg. SSMS).

If you need to execute multiple commands, simply execute them in the proper order, one at a time.
