I'm inclined to think this was probably a good thing before 9.6, as a
guard against accidentally writing an empty query into a script and
thus executing more queries than you meant to.  However, with the new
end-of-command definition I think it's impossible to write an empty
query without an explicit ";", so it seems fine now.  Pushed.

[HACKERS] pgbench - allow empty queries

[Fabien COELHO]

I wanted to test overheads on an empty query, but pgbench does not allow 
it. I do not see why not.


The attached very minor patch allows empty queries.
