Here's the trick with "GO":

It's not actually a part of the T-SQL language. It's a batch
separator. (Don't believe me? Try running "exec('GO')" in Query
Analyzer.)

Think of it like this: Cut up your script into multiple files,
separated by the "GO" statement. Run each of these files individually,
but use the same connection. That's all "GO" does.

So you need to remove the "GO" batch separators in between your
statements that need to be run in the same batch.
