I guess that depends on "where you come from". When you're used to Oracle, DUAL seems as natural as anything. When you're used to other databases you probably don't think about dummy tables. When you're strictly following the SQL standard, then you'd expect the FROM clause to be mandatory only within a <table expression> In the end of the day... SQL can be confusing :-) > Now I'm even more amazed by your work than I was before, jOOQ is awesome! Thanks!
