This is in relation to: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_init-file To be clear adding an extra sentence such as: "No statement terminator such as ;, \g or \G is required at the end of the line." would clarify this.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products. Updated per Simon's comment.
Description: The only information given is "Each statement must be on a single line and should not include comments." There is no information given on if delimiters (';') are needed for each line or if the new line character (\n) is the delimiter itself. It would be nice if you can clarify whether the semicolon is needed. How to repeat: na Suggested fix: Add the information on if the semicolon is needed or not after each line.
