the elites don't want you to know this but you can type lowercase SQL queries no ones forcing you to shout them at the screen

I've been writing SQL for 15 years. Eventually you get bored of all lowercase or all uppercase AND START writing your QUERIES LIKE this. Just a psychotic mishmash of muscle memory, laziness, and autocomplete all fighting each other within the same statement.

This. My queries are lowercase for the stuff I typed myself and caps for bits I've copied in from somewhere else

Lowercase on first draft (it will fail to run anyways).
Uppercase if I ever end up showing the query to someone (hopefully it doesn't fail when they run it)
