I thought the SQL ; was implementation-specific,
and just happened to be
used in many implementations?
True. It is also not consistent across implementations: in DB2-SQL, it is
used merely to separate statements and optional at the end of single
statement, while in NonStop-SQL it is mandatory to end each statement with a
semicolon. Unclosed statements are interpreted as incomplete.
