using ';' is just a demarkation of T-SQL statement.
And its very much different from a GO statement.
GO is for end of a batch and is not something understood by T-SQL Engine but
only by your QA.
And you don't get any performance benifit by adding or removing the ';'
But its better to add the ';', since readability improves anyways and few of
the new features in SQL Server 2005, like the service broker mandates use of
';'. So better to remember using ';' in general than rememberting where all
to use it :)

Another instance in SQL 2005 is when you use WITH CTE where it is not the
first statement of the batch. Unless the preceding statement is terminated
with a semi-colon you'll get an error.
Anith|||...unless enclosed in a BEGIN...END block. ;)
There are alternatives to semi-colons.
