i suppose i could if i had to however some of them are dependent. So, I'd have to modify the contents or add some sort of try catch or error logic. These scripts are several thousand lines long and extremely complex. i was hoping i could just call each .sql file somehow and wrap the error logic around each call. Something along those lines. I don’t really have time to modify the contents of these scripts not the testing cycles. I would have thought that sql 2008 would have designed a way to wrap strips w/ GO in them.
