This returns data:
SET SQLENGINE = SQLMSS
SQL
select * from EIDW_test.dbo.TestTable1
END

So does this:
SET SQLENGINE = SQLMSS
SQL
select * from EIDW.dbo.TestTable1
END

This returns no data:
 
SET SQLENGINE = SQLMSS
SQL
use EIDW_test
select * from TestTable1
END

Neither does this:
 
SET SQLENGINE = SQLMSS
SQL
use EIDW
select * from TestTable1
END

This works in SQL Query Analyzer:
 
use EIDW_test
select * from TestTable1

So does this:
 
use EIDW
select * from TestTable1


Why does the SQL USE command not function in WF SQL Pass-through?

The problem that you have with .sql scripts run under Query Analyser or the Oracle equivalent, SQL plus, is that these are interpreter programs and part of the script is command to the interpreter and not the SQL engine on the server.

Thus in

(1) use EIDW_test
(2) select * from TestTable1

(1) is an instruction to SQL Query Analyzer and thus not understood by the SQL engine.
