Description

The following fails at runtime with System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 'Invalid column name 'code'.'

alter table Users add column code int default 0;
update Users set code = id + 1000;

This is a consistent behaviour with SSMS. This is solved using by separating the statement with GO. I do recall your explanation on how GO is used to virtually separate scripts so they are run individually. There is however no such equivalent statement. The current workaround is having the statements in different files.

Is it possible to have a statement that is equivalent to GO? Also, I'm not really sure if it is possible but if such codes can give an error at compile time, it will be very helpful since it will help with the statement that if it compiles, it works :)

Research direction

Start by examining how the SQL compiler and typechecker handle multi-statement scripts and how statements are translated to the supported RDBMS backends. The issue is done when an equivalent batch-separation mechanism is defined and implemented, or the limitation receives a clear compile-time diagnostic or documented resolution.
