The first character after s is used as a separator. You chose /, so the correct command would be:
s/search/replace/flags
The problem is you have extra / in your search part:
<check-valid-connection-sql>select 1</check-valid-connection-sql>
^
So sed parses it like this:
Search: <check-valid-connection-sql>select 1<
Replace: check-valid-connection-sql>
Flags: /g
And / is not a correct flag.
Use a different separator to fix this:
s#<check-valid-connection-sql>select 1</check-valid-connection-sql>##g

You can also escape the '/' character with a backslash like '/'.
