This Jira issue is not about removing the semicolon but making it optional for
the tool-specific commands. It took me a bit to realize that I just missed the
semicolon for the commands to work. Of course, one can blame my beginner like
attitude with the SQL interface. But maybe, that's just an opportunity to
remove frustration for newcomers who just want to try SQL out. WDYT?

> Reporter: Matthias Pohl
> Priority: Minor

> The special commands {{HELP}}, {{EXIT}}, and {{QUIT}} are not really part of
> the SQL syntax but rather tool-specific commands. Having the requirement to
> have the semicolon follow-up on these commands might not be necessary.
