Maintaining alignment in these queries seems a pain. I'd prefer the regular, newlines and fixed indentation; e.g.:

    SELECT a.foo, b.bar, g.zed
    FROM alpha a
    JOIN beta b ON a.id = b.alpha_id AND a.another = b.thing
      LEFT JOIN gamma g ON b.id = g.beta_id 
    WHERE a.val > 1
      AND b.col < 2
    ORDER BY a.foo

(bonus: "AND" got accidentally aligned with the end of "WHERE")

I use tabs.

    SELECT   t.foo, t.bar
    FROM     a_table t

This escalated quickly.
