Incorrect Syntax Near GO, T-SQL EXEC()

Question

I am using the following script:

DECLARE @dbName NVARCHAR(20) = \'ABC\';
EXEC ( N\' USE \' + @dbName + \'
GO

-- Create Schema
CREATE SCHEMA meta
GO

-- Create L         


        

Answer 1

Try removing comma after [EventType] [nvarchar](64) NULL, and see if the error message changes.

So you have 2 problems:

1. As @Tanner has pointed out, you cannot use GO in dynamic SQL.
2. You still have that trailing comma in the meta.LogAudit table columns definition.

Try running this code:

DECLARE @dbName NVARCHAR(20) = 'ABC';
declare @sql nvarchar(max) = N'exec '+ @DBName + '..sp_executesql N''CREATE SCHEMA meta'''
execute(@sql)
declare @sql2 nvarchar(max) = '
-- Create Log Table
CREATE TABLE '+ @DBName + '.meta.LogAudit(
[EventDate] [datetime] NOT NULL DEFAULT (getdate()),
[EventType] [nvarchar](64) NULL
)'
exec sp_executesql @sql2,N''

It will allow you to programmatically create schema in the specified Database as opposite to using current database.
