Interesting. Can you please provide an example of what you mean?

[irrational]

WHERE

T.first_name = "Ender" AND

T.last_name = "Wiggins"

versus

WHERE

T.first_name = "Ender"

AND T.last_name = "Wiggins"

you could also do

WHERE 1=1

AND T.first_name = "Ender"

AND T.last_name = "Wiggins"

Thanks a lot, I thought it might have been WHERE 1=1

I will now use that to easily remove filters.

An extension for the SELECT based on the very insightful top comment could be

SELECT NULL

,something1

,something2
