Yes, trailing comma sounds great too.
One more similar syntax sugar I can think of. I see lots of queries like
SELECT somtheing
FROM table1
WHERE 1=1
and id = x
--and col1 = val1
and col2 = val2
I was wondering where does that "1=1" comes from. It's because developer comment condition one by one like "--, col1 =
val1".And they do not want to cope with and\or continuation.
