Execute SQL Script

This activity executes SQL statements within SharePoint Designer workflows.

Execute SQL Script activity configured in a SharePoint Designer workflow

Note: The default provider is MS SQL Server (System.Data.SqlClient). You can use other providers like ODBC or Oracle.

The activity supports multiple batches separated by the GO command. GO is not a Transact-SQL statement; it is a command recognized by this activity. The activity interprets GO as a signal to send the current batch of Transact-SQL statements to an instance of SQL Server. The current batch of statements includes all statements entered since the last GO or since the start of the session if it is the first GO.

A Transact-SQL statement cannot occupy the same line as a GO command. However, comments can appear on the same line as GO.

Example: SQL script
