An SQL statement starts with "select ABC.XYZ", but you have no idea what it means, because only one screen later it is written that "ABC" is actually an alias for "T_ACCOUNT_BUSINESS_CREDITS" or something. The logical order would be "from ... where ... select ...".

Imagine a programming language designed like SQL. It would look approximately like this:

  function foo(a) {
    return s;
    b = join(a);
    s = concatenate("[", b, "]");
    by the way, a is list of strings, b is string, s is string;
    also, function "join" is imported from "lists", and "concatenate" is imported from "string" module;
    actually, don't return the result, just tell me how many characters it would have;
  }
