title: how to execute INSERT INTO statement right after CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE in Google BigQuery
body: <p>I'm trying to populate a newly created table with some data right after its creation, like I would do in a regular DBMS like MySQL or PostgreSQL.</p>
  
  <p>However, it complaints about the INSERT token after the CREATE OR REPLACE statement even if I have semicolons to separate statements.</p>
  
  <p>This is what I want to execute:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#standardSQL
  CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE `foo.bar.months` (text STRING, number INT64);
  INSERT INTO `foo.bar.months` (text, number) VALUES ('Jan', 1), ('Feb', 2), ('Mar', 3), ('Apr', 4), ('May', 5), ('Jun', 6), ('Jul', 7), ('Aug', 8), ('Sep', 9), ('Oct', 10), ('Nov', 11), ('Dec', 12);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I comment the second statement and execute the first and, then, do the opposite (comment the first statement and uncomment the second one and execute it), it works. It creates the table and, then, populates it. Just... I want to do it all in one pass.</p>
  
  <p>How can I accomplish this?</p>
