You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '; select now()' at line 1

Earlier it was not allowed to have more than one command in the query area. The latest version allows to put several commands in, but on separate lines and only one can be executed at a time. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
