    GO

    Signals the end of a batch of Transact-SQL statements to the Microsoft® SQL Server™ utilities.

    Syntax

    GO

    Remarks

    GO is not a Transact-SQL statement; it is a command recognized by the osql and isql utilities and SQL Query Analyzer.

    SQL Server utilities interpret GO as a signal that they should send the current batch of Transact-SQL statements to 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. SQL Query Analyzer and the osql and isql command prompt utilities implement GO differently.
