Sql query not executed using recordset

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to first format and then execute SQL query statement using recordset object with DI API. the issue is with vb.net's string formatting. I want to use 'USE [DB_Name]' statement in SQL and then 'Alter Procedure ..' statement. as this has to be the first statement in sql , I am using 'GO' in between and seperating each sentence with following syntax.
  Dim AltProc  as string
  AltProc = " USE [DB_name]" & Environment.NewLine
  AltProc = AltProc & " GO " &  Environment.NewLine
  AltProc = AltProc & " ALTER proc [proc_name] " &  Environment.NewLine
'---------------------and so on
Orec.DoQuery(AltProc)
this formatting does not recognize new line and gives 'incorrect syntax near 'Go'' error.  strange thing is, if I take this query in SQL, it runs perfectly and I can see it getting formatted with each new line created. I tried even VbcrLf but it didnt work.
any one has any idea?
thanks in advance,
Binita

HI Binita
The reason:
GO is the "command" delimiter of MS Query Editor.
It is not working with RecordSet Object.
In MS SQL 2008 version you can define the schema before the procedure name but in SQL server 2000/2005 it is not possible.
IN SQL 2008 use the Fully Qualified name instead of GO:
Dim AltProc  as string
  AltProc = " ALTER proc [DB_name].[dbo].[proc_name] "  + vbcrlf
'---------------------and so on
Orec.DoQuery(AltProc)
it is not working on MS SQL 2008 i have tried.
'CREATE/ALTER PROCEDURE' does not allow specifying the database name as a prefix to the object name.'
