Maybe.  But Sybase and Microsoft both have command-line isql utilities
that use "go" to send the buffer to the server.  They don't require ';'
between SQL statements.  I never understood why SQL needs line terminators
anyway.  

There is also sqsh (as in SQL Shell, www.sqsh.org).  It talks to Sybase
and Microsoft, and accepts "go" or "\go", not to mention a host of other
cool things.  

So I'd say it's closer to "unusual" than "alien".
