By the way, why isn't a semicolon required at the end of SET NAMES
'utf8' command? I tried both with and without semicolon and neither
raise an error.
Seems, that MySQL is tolerant to this.
MySQL supports MULTI_STATEMENTS, which enables client to pass multiple
statements separated by ";" in one string.
So may be, that MySQL interprets ";" as delimiter between multiple
statements on one batch.
If you use only one sql statement it is always better do not use
terminating ";" IMHO
-Laco.
The strange thing is, when we use MYSQL's interactive command line
client, a semi colon is always required for EACH SQL Statement.
