Multiple Nonquery statements in one

Question

How do you make a call to run multiple nonqueries in one call. If i do
DELETE FROM EMPOWER.ESYS_USERS WHERE USERID LIKE 'QAL5%'
it works fine, but if i do
DELETE FROM EMPOWER.ESYS_USERS WHERE USERID LIKE 'QAL5%';
DELETE FROM EMPOWER.ESYS_ROLE_MAPS WHERE USER_REFERENCE LIKE 'QAL%'
it will give me an ORA-00911 error
or if i do
DELETE FROM EMPOWER.ESYS_USERS WHERE USERID LIKE 'QAL5%'
DELETE FROM EMPOWER.ESYS_ROLE_MAPS WHERE USER_REFERENCE LIKE 'QAL%'
it will give me an ORA-00933 error.
So does ODP support multiple nonquery execution?

Answer 1

I put the begin and end in and it would only work if
there were no hard return in the string. why does
white space have an effect?Yeah, you can't pass char 13 in PL/SQL to ODP.NET.
You know, come to think of it SQLPlus doesn't seem to mind windows text files. And I've never had this problem in any other Oracle tool.
It might be a bug.
Here's a repro
  public static OracleConnection connect()
    OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection("User Id=scott;Password=tiger;Data Source=oracle");
    con.Open();
    return con;
  static void main(string[] args)
    string sql1 =
@"select 1
  from dual";
    string sql2 =
@"declare
i number;
begin
  select 1
  into i
  from dual;
end;";
    string sql3 = sql2.Replace((char)13,' ');
    using (OracleConnection con = connect())
    foreach (string sql in new string[] {sql1,sql2,sql3})
      OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(sql,con);
      try
        Console.WriteLine("-------------");
        Console.WriteLine(sql);
        Console.WriteLine("-------------");
        for (int ix =0;ix<sql.Length;ix++)
          char c = sql[ix];
          Console.Write(((short)c).ToString("X").PadLeft(2,'0'));
          if (c == (char)10)
            Console.WriteLine("");
          else
            Console.Write(' ');
        Console.WriteLine("");
        Console.WriteLine("-------------");
        cmd.Parameters.Add("i",OracleDbType.Int32,ParameterDirection.Output );
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        Console.WriteLine("succeeded");
      catch (OracleException ex)
        Console.WriteLine("failed");
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message );
      Console.WriteLine("");
