I'm not objecting to the parens being there, but I think the layout
doesn't look nice. Not immediately sure what would look better though.
Obvious alternatives include one line per paren:
( ( ( SELECT ...
or getting rid of the space between parens:
(((SELECT ...
but I'm not sure I'm thrilled with either of those. Thoughts?
