Hello,

When I read SQL code I often see a code line ending with ;.
However, it is very common to not use ;.

For example:
SELECT Name
FROM dbo.Users
WHERE Country = @Country;

Or:
SELECT Name
FROM dbo.Users
WHERE Country = @Country

Thanks,
Miguel

Generally, this comes from the ORACLE style of syntax. SQL Server doesn't require you to end statement with semicolon.

Unless you use a CTE.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
