Scriptella - SQLServerException: A result set was generated for update - sql-server

Question

I am a first-time user of Scriptella, and am really struggling with getting started.
I seem to be running into the same issue on both SQL Server 2012 as well as MySQL. With both, I am able to CREATE tables and INSERT records, but get the following errors when using SELECT statements.
SQL Server using driver mssql-jdbc-8.4.0.jre8.jar (and earlier versions):
Driver exception: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: A result set was generated for update.
MYSQL using driver mysql-connector-java-5.1.45.jar:
Driver exception: java.sql.SQLException: Can not issue SELECT via executeUpdate() or executeLargeUpdate().
I am unable to figure out if this is an issue with my script or if it is a server configuration issue. I tried to set nocount on and nocount off on sql server, but to no avail.
I tried Scriptella version 1.1 as well as version 1.2, and have the same issue.
I am so stuck on this problem that after years of following stackoverflow.com, I am finally posting my first question here. I would so very much appreciate any help.
Please see below for the script I am using as well as the stacktrace. Thanks.

The issue was with my script. The corrected script below worked fine ...
