what does a "/" mean after a sql statement I have a script that we are using to update our ERP database to a new version,

UPDATE ENUM_CODES SET COLUMN_NAME = 'PAY_STATUS' WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'PAYABLE' and COLUMN_NAME = 'STATUS'
/


but i dont know why it has the / after the update portion.
Does anyone know what that / means?
/ is the Oracle equivalent of SQL Server's GO...  

It would seem that your ERP supports multiple RDBMS platforms, and you're looking at a script originally written for an Oracle database. 

As it is currently written, you'll probably get a compilation error on SQL Server. Trade that / for a GO and you'll be in business (assuming the rest of the script is correct, of course).
