Thanks for the reply,
I realize that user variables disappear when the connection closes but I don't understand
why what I'm trying to accomplish can't be done. Doesn't it make since that if you can
load a single file with multiple SQL commands and have that work succesfully then you
should be able to have a single call with multple SQL commands work just as succesfully?
Is there any way to do what I asked in my original post?
Thanks again for the reply.
