SQL file [message #1828222] Thu, 04 June 2020 06:51 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello:
I am trying to execute an SQL file using WTP. The problem is that only
the first statement will execute and then it fails. I've been using these
scripts for a long time, so there are no errors in them.

When I execute:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS family;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS person;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS familychild;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS personsource;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS marriagesource;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audit;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user;

the following message results:

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to
your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ';
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS person;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS familychild;
DROP TABLE ' at line 1

That's a message from your MySQL server. Did you do as it said? And why does the message refer to an apostrophe
that doesn't appear to be in your shown statements?

The error you're encountering suggests that the SQL script is not being executed as expected by WTP, which could be due to how the tool processes multiple statements in a single script.

Here are some possible reasons and solutions:

1. Statement Termination Issues
Ensure that each statement in your SQL script is terminated with a semicolon (;).
Double-check that there are no extraneous or missing semicolons.
2. Execution of Multiple Statements
Some tools, including WTP, might not support executing multiple SQL statements in a single batch by default. If this is the case, you may need to adjust the configuration to allow multi-statement execution.
Solution: Look for an option in your WTP settings or preferences that enables the execution of multiple statements. If there's an option like "Allow multiple queries," ensure it is checked.

3. Compatibility Issues with SQL Mode
Certain SQL modes (e.g., STRICT_TRANS_TABLES) in MySQL may cause issues with script execution. Check the SQL mode of your MySQL server and ensure it's compatible with the script you're running.
Solution: You can adjust the SQL mode using the following query before running your script:

sql
Copy code
SET SESSION sql_mode='';
4. Use of Delimiters
If the SQL client (WTP) requires specific delimiters between statements, you may need to use the DELIMITER command to define the end of each statement.
Solution:

Add DELIMITER ;; before your statements if WTP requires a custom delimiter, and reset it after the batch:
sql
Copy code
DELIMITER ;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS family;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS person;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS familychild;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS personsource;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS marriagesource;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audit;;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS user;;
DELIMITER ;
5. Check for Invisible Characters
Ensure there are no hidden or invisible characters in the script that could cause issues with the execution.
6. Run Statements Individually
As a temporary workaround, you might try running each DROP TABLE statement individually to see if there's a specific statement causing the issue.
7. Error Logging
Enable detailed error logging in WTP or MySQL to get more insight into where and why the script fails. This may reveal additional context around the error.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, you might want to share the full script and more detailed error logs for further diagnosis.
