Hey guys.

I'm trying to run multiple SQL statements in a migration with a single call to execute. I want to execute multiple statements from a file, like this:


But I get this error: ** (Postgrex.Error) ERROR (syntax_error): cannot insert multiple commands into a prepared statement

It seems that Postgrex can't handle multiple statements at once; Is there a way to do this?

I couldn't find how to do it just by looking at the source code.

Thanks.

What I ended up doing was mark each statement with a comment and call String.split, like this:


This is fine with me, at least for now, but if you know how to execute multiple statements at once, please let me now.

Thanks.

Postgrex only supports extended queries so you cannot run multiple statements in one query.
