GO statements blowing up sql execution in .NET

Question

I have a very simple C# command shell app that executes a sql script generated by SQL Server for scripting schema and data. It\'s blowing up on the \"GO\" statements. Error

Answer 1

As an alternative to massaging the scripts to make them runnable through C#, you could just run them as-is by using the sqlcmd utility. Lot of details at:

By using sqlcmd, you can script out the execution of any number of your SQL Server generated scripts, without stripping out the Go statements.
