The document assumes you have used SQL in anger before and run into it's lack of modularity. If you haven't run into those things then you'll miss the point. But if you have then this looks really interesting.

Yeah, the quip about many people preferring to write SQL keywords in all caps as if that were somehow a defect of SQL struck me as being astonishingly asinine.

Ignore the upper caps thing. Have you not run into the problem that SQL cannot be written with reusable units of code? Do you not find reusable units of code to be the basis of programming?
