Hi there,
I am trying to run a long sql script with Database Explorer. There seem to be some problems though..If I execute this code it works fine..
/* fsdf */
insert into document (asset_id, index_id) values(2,7)
insert into document (asset_id, index_id) values(2,8)But if I use the alternate comment style or use go statements then no statements are run.. There may be a logical reason why the below statements should not work.. There is no error message though, they just fail silently..
Regards,
Damon— fsdf
insert into document (asset_id, index_id) values(2,7)
insert into document (asset_id, index_id) values(2,8)/* or this */
insert into document (asset_id, index_id) values(2,7)
go
insert into document (asset_id, index_id) values(2,8)
goThis happens because DE interprets:
–comment
select * from …as
–comment select * from ….
In other words the document parsing of the content of the SQL Editor is not sophisticated enough to interpret the comment line as a separate statement altogether. BTW, if you add a semi-colon after the comment, it does the right thing.
I will enter a bug report on this, but it is a pretty uncommon scenario so I would not expect quick resolution on it.
I don’t think this is “a pretty uncommon scenario”. In fact, for anyone out there that uses Sybase it is a very common scenario to have scripts with ‘go’ statements in them.
Sybase won’t execute a multi-command script unless the ‘go’ is present
Whenever stored procedures, table definitions etc are exported from the database into script files, they are generated with the problematic ‘go’ statements.
I am trying to encourage my developers to use the DB Browser and SQL editor to modify stored procedures so that the changes are kept in CVS, but this is quite a drawback because I’ll have to convert all of our existing scripts to work with MyEclipse.
