Few common SQL/Rushmore considerations:
1. Any function in field list will force record-by-record propcesiing, i.e. delay query.
2. Rushmore expect to see exactly (literally) the same expressions in SQl-Where clause and in Index tag, i.e. your tables supposed to be indexed exactly on 'UPPER(ALLTRIM(....'.
3. You should have tag on DELETED(), instead of adding DELETED check in query.
Some interface consideration: in many cases it's not necessarily to make all calculations, joints inside the SELECT-SQL. They might be done faster by interface means. It depends on how you're planning to use this view.
