Why is SQL written entirely in capital letters?

[Esther]

Why everything needs to be capitalized is beyond me. Just wondering, hehe

SELECT *

AFTER

LOCATIONS

Somebody tried to brow beat me that SQL never needs a semicolon, but I learned with Aqua Data Studio

[DataDrifter]

Sooo… it is never late.

[QuantumSleuth]

I do that pretty often, so I need the semicolon.

Lower case is easier to read

Disagree. All Caps for commands makes it easier to parse and less like a blob of similar text. Not all SQL is shown in colors and not all colors pops out to everyone
