I am working on SQL Server 2005 and I have come accros the issue

  • 0

I am working on SQL Server 2005 and I have come accros the issue that I have run the multiple update query on the single table one by one. As it takes lots of time to execute one by one I came to know that by using “GO” I can run the query one by one. Like this

Update Table A ....

GO

Update Table A

GO

Update Table A

I am not sure that I can put seperate update statement like this and it will run the query one by one. As I doing it on production I need to be sure that it should work.

Can anyone give me an example where I can see that by using GO, query runs one by one and not parallel?

    From GO (Transact-SQL)

    GO is not a Transact-SQL statement; it is a command recognized by the
    sqlcmd and osql utilities and SQL
    Server Management Studio Code
    editor.

    SQL Server utilities interpret GO as a
    signal that they should send the
    current batch of Transact-SQL
    statements to an instance of SQL
    Server. The current batch of
    statements is composed of all
    statements entered since the last GO,
    or since the start of the ad hoc
    session or script if this is the first
    GO.
