In Pascal, the semi-colon separates two statements. That's why you can
omit that semi-colon directly before the END keyword of a compound
statement.
begin
One;
Two // no semi-colon here is correct Pascal
end;
I think in PSQL the semi-colon is there to terminate a statement, and
it is also required to be there (except after END).
begin
One;
Two -- syntax error in PSQL
end;
