Matthias Pohl commented on FLINK-31105:
---------------------------------------
[~jingge] out of curiosity, where do you see the flaws in the approach allowing
to omit the semicolon for the non-standard methods QUIT, HELP, EXIT? It
wouldn't change anything in terms of using these methods with a semicolon. I'm
not passionate to push that change forward. I'm just curious where you see the
disadvantage of this being implemented.
[~Sergey Nuyanzin] has a point with the auto-completion. I agree to that
proposal as well.
> SqlClient: Make HELP, EXIT and QUIT also work without a semicolon

> Key: FLINK-31105
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-31105
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table SQL / Client
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0, 1.16.1
> Reporter: Matthias Pohl
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: starter
>
> 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.
