I got it wrong, but nothing to do with the use of the word 'GO'.

As I calculated in my head what would happen, I had to make a guess as to whether the procedure 'GO' would be cached and so escape being changed by the 'ALTER' when invoked by next line. I opted for the 'nesting level exceeded'. Oh well, never mind; I learnt more by trying to work it out and getting it wrong than blindly running it and getting points.

I too use these QOTDs as a learning exercise (IANAL^HDBA), but simple male (or should that be 'human' in these PC days?) pride means that, ummm, sometimes I *do* run the code to make sure I get the points. Then again, I can just post some comment in the forum!
