"We use Oracle syntax and write <column expr> <alias> instead of ANSI SQL <column expr> AS <alias>. Ditto for table expressions"

T-SQL can handle that alias expr just fine, but the seqNum returned is 4,8,12,16,20 instead of the 1,2,3... I tried on MySQL and it works fine. I'm not sure how SQL Server is handling those cartesian joins differently
