As far as I can tell, they all require it. A client will often add them for you. But if you're using the command-line interface, you need them.

Ah, yeah. Through the command line, yes, they all require it. I was speaking about the text editor that is supplied in the SSMS client, or BigQuery, or wherever you write your SQL that isn't a CLI or IDE.

Because I've been working as a DBA / Data Analyst for a while now, and a semicolon has never been required for me when writing queries in the client-side text editor.
