Yes, the number of times I have caught out by that little oddity.

A simple rule could be to use a semi-colon as the block separator - except that that is too simple.
At the very least, a simple parser has to ignore semi-colons in quoted text and comments and ignoring semi-colons inside BEGIN..END blocks is not that difficult either. Indeed, exiting the outermost BEGIN..END block is a good enough rule for passing the current text block to a prepare statement. Requiring a following semi-colon or a '^' is just syntactic candy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Firebird-Devel mailing list, web interface at https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-devel
