[c#] Execute a large SQL script (with GO commands)

If you don't want to use SMO (which is better than the solution below, but i want to give an alternative...) you can split your query with this function.

It is:

  • Comment proof (example --GO or /* GO */)
  • Only works on a new line, just as in SSMS (example /* test /* GO works and select 1 as go not
  • String proof (example print 'no go ')

    private List<string> SplitScriptGo(string script)
    {
        var result = new List<string>();
        int pos1 = 0;
        int pos2 = 0;
        bool whiteSpace = true;
        bool emptyLine = true;
        bool inStr = false;
        bool inComment1 = false;
        bool inComment2 = false;
    
        while (true)
        {
            while (pos2 < script.Length && Char.IsWhiteSpace(script[pos2]))
            {
                if (script[pos2] == '\r' || script[pos2] == '\n')
                {
                    emptyLine = true;
                    inComment1 = false;
                }
    
                pos2++;
            }
    
            if (pos2 == script.Length)
                break;
    
            bool min2 = (pos2 + 1) < script.Length;
            bool min3 = (pos2 + 2) < script.Length;
    
            if (!inStr && !inComment2 && min2 && script.Substring(pos2, 2) == "--")
                inComment1 = true;

            {
                if (!whiteSpace)
                    result.Add(script.Substring(pos1, pos2 - pos1));

                emptyLine = false;
                pos2 += 2;

            if (!inStr && inComment2 && pos2 > 1 && script.Substring(pos2 - 2, 2) == "*/")
                inComment2 = false;
        }
