    A good fun questioon.

    But I think it's a terrible pity that SQL Server is this forgiving - it would be better to treat such horrid, unsightly and unreadable code as an error.

    Thank you. You've hit on the real reason I thought it worth composing a QOD on this point. The rather loose syntactical rules can lead to results that are unexpected and difficult to explain.
