>>>I am sorry that I still don't quite understand the use of GO command in the SQL Server SSMS query window. For example, do I need GO between each line as following:

>>>update Table1 set Fld1 = 'value' where Fld1 = 'OldValue'
>>>update Table2 set Fld1 = 'value' where Fld1 = 'OldValue'
>>>update Table3 set Fld1 = 'value' where Fld1 = 'OldValue'
