Cannot create plan guide '%.*ls' because parameter @stmt has more than one statement.

Error Message:
Msg 10506, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot create plan guide ‘%.*ls’ because parameter @stmt has more than one statement.

Severity level:
16.

Description:
This error message appears when you try to create a planguide, but the @stmt parameter contains more than one statement.

Consequences:
The T-SQL statement can be parsed, but causes the error at runtime.

Resolution:
Errors of the Severity Level 16 are generated by the user and can be fixed by the SQL Server user. The statement cannot be executed this way. The @stmt parameter can contain only one value.

Versions:
This error message was introduced with SQL Server 2005.

Example(s):
IF OBJECT_ID (‘dbo.t’) IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE dbo.t;
GO

CREATE TABLE dbo.t
(
    c1 int
);
GO

EXEC sp_create_plan_guide
    @name = ‘Guide1’,
    @stmt = ‘SELECT TOP 1
                *
              FROM
                dbo.t
              ORDER BY
                c1 DESC;SELECT 1′,
    @type = ‘SQL’,
    @module_or_batch = NULL,
    @params = NULL,
    @hints = ‘OPTION (MAXDOP 1)’;

EXEC sp_control_plan_guide ‘DROP’, ‘Guide1’;

Remarks:
In the above example we try to create a planguide. Because the @stmt parameter contains two statements, the error is raised.
