Description

Many users have been confused by the lack of response from ij when they forget to end a statement with a semicolon, and believe that Derby is taking its sweet time answering their query, while ij is simply waiting for more input.

This issue tries to address this by adding a short "> " prompt to the next line after a newline has been entered by the user without ending the statement with a semicolon.
