WHERE 1=1 won't actually work when i-am-a-dummy mode is enabled. You must reference at least one KEY column in the where clause.
It sort of sucks that in SQL you first say what action you want to perform and then say what you want to perform it on. I end up writing the WHERE part of every query first anyways.
from where select
I like it that way; it happens to already match the way my mind plans a relational query.
