Do you ever want to execute slq statements at once. I mean SQL Script file. Normally we are using like following commands to Execute Single SQL statement.

Google Talk Secret Emoticons

Some of the basic emoticon like :) and :D works inside google talk and on typing will turn bold blue like: :) and :D .
