Matthias Pohl commented on FLINK-31105:
---------------------------------------
I see your points, [~jingge]. But there's a clear separation between EXIT/QUIT,
HELP and the FlinkSQL commands:
EXIT/QUIT and HELP are exclusive commands of the sql client and not part of the
FlinkSQL standard which tries to be as close as possible to the SQL standard,
AFAIU. This doesn't apply to the aforementioned commands. They are sql
client-specific and, therefore, can be handled differently without opening the
box of the pandora for other FlinkSQL commands.
Any, I'm also not that emotionally committed to that feature. I'm fine with
closing the issue if there are objections against it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> 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.
