    Honest question, which ones wouldn’t it work with? Most add a semicolon to the end automatically or have libraries and interfaces saved me a million times?

        I’m not sure how including a final semicolon can protect against an injection attack. In fact, the “Bobby Tables” attack specifically adds in a semicolon, to be able to start a new command. If inputs are sanitized, or much better, passed as parameters rather than string concatenated, you should be fine - nothing can be injected, regardless of the semicolon. If you concatenate untrusted strings straight into your query, an injection can be crafted to take advantage, with or without a semicolon.

      Usually with libraries like jdbc or whatever and prepared statements you don’t need the semicolon.
