This is incorrect. Literal values can be placed on either side of the comparison operator in T-SQL. In older versions of MS SQL Server, it was recommended to put the field first in the expression because the query analyzer would use indexes, but I suspect that's no longer true. In any case, you could do it even in old versions of SQL Server - 6.5, for example.
