Hi Sergey,

That was not for a specific SQL statement I have developed a query and report
and engine and trying to solve problems in general. Also you can check this
link to see how that query engine works: http://www.dfarber.com/query_engine.htm

But if you have some ideas for SQL statement improvement please let me look at
that. In some cases instead of using long tables names it is possible to have
an alias with short name, but that’s may not be enough in some cases when there
are some expression against each field like IIF() and more.

Regrads,

Doron
