Question

This question I am asking by proxy (it is for someone else).

He is making a program and have the following problem: He need to input unescaped “;” into a query, he heard that he could ask MySQL to terminate with something else than “;”

So, in pseudocode it would be:

Change_Statement_Ending(;;);
SELECT * FROM * WHERE;; //suppose that this was a input query, it is years that I don’t use SQL I don’t remember…
Change_Statement_Ending(;);;

The problem is that he cannot remember the correct syntax for the line that I wrote as “Change_Statement_Ending(ending)”

Answer 1

You can use DELIMITER . E.g to change the delimiter to // instead of the default ; , issue DELIMITER //
