I believe those results are specific to what is being read. Surely it's easier to read: SELECT blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah if it's all on one line, no matter how many fields there are, while trying to read the code as a whole. Sure, it can be "hard" to find/read the individual field names, on the rare occasion that you need to do that... Assuming you actually planned your DB and queries out to fit your application needs in the first place. I guess if you're coding in an unstructured iterative way to design the db, then, yeah, it would be harder on the eyes as you morph that statement into what it should be... :-v -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
