The separator to split SQL statements inside a single .sql file.

Configuration Options

Option: ‘;’

The default value of the sqlStatementSeparator configuration option is ;, so a .sql file holds one statement per ; the way it would be written for a database client. The separator is matched literally, and it is never a separator inside a string literal or a comment.

Option: ‘|’

Changing the sqlStatementSeparator configuration option to | configures YoSQL to split .sql files on the | character.
