Subject: ARQ makes semi colons optional in SPARUL
I noticed that in ARQ I could choose not to provide a semi-colon between SPARUL
commands and it would be accepted. I just wanted to point it out in case the
(a) the spec needs updating or (b) ARQ needs to be more pedantic. If it is an
intentional divergence from the spec then no matter... but I'm curious to
know what the intention was here.
Here is the grammar production from the spec:
[30] Update ::= Prologue ( Update1 ( ';' Update )? )?
Personally, I think they should be optional but that's consensus
standards for you.
At least trailing semi-colon is legal
INSERT DATA {} ;
It would better is repeated ; were legal.
INSERT DATA {} ;;
Extended syntax accepts both - none and multiple.
