title: How to run multiple update statements in TOAD for Oracle
body: <p>I have about 800 update statements I want to run in TOAD</p>
  
  <pre><code>UPDATE my_table SET col1 = 'a' WHERE col2 = '1';
  UPDATE my_table SET col1 = 'b' WHERE col2 = '2';
  UPDATE my_table SET col1 = 'c' WHERE col2 = '3';
  UPDATE my_table SET col1 = 'd' WHERE col2 = '4';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>hitting F5</li>
  <li>selecting all and hitting F5</li>
  <li><p>wrapping my statements in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>BEGIN
  (update statements)
  END;
  /
  </code></pre></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>all to no avail. It pops up the processing window and says 1 of 800... and never completes even the first statement.</p>
  
  <p>F9 will complete the first statement but nothing else. Any ideas? TOAD v11.5.1.2</p>
