On: Best practices for writing SQL queries

[SigmundA]

Xquery and Linq both use FLWOR like syntax which puts the "FROM" first and helps auto complete, wish SQL had ordered things this way:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLWOR

SELECT first_name FROM person WHERE first_name LIKE 'john'

becomes:

FROM person WHERE first_name LIKE 'john' SELECT first_name

SQL reads more English like while from first is more Yoda speak but the auto-complete is worth more to me.
