Query Batch Terminators

Centerprise Data Integrator supports a number of databases including SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, DB2, Sybase, Microsoft Access, as well as the Salesforce service which Centerprise treats as a database connection. You can specify the Query Batch Terminators for the databases in use. Using Centerprise Data Integrator, users will be able to run the scripts, which they have developed using ‘GO’ or ‘;’ without changing the anything in the script. The query script will be passed to the database in tokens, with the batch terminator behaving as the delimiter and the query statement as the token.

Steps:

1. In the SQL Server box, enter the **Query Batch Terminator.**The default value is GO.
