One good reason for this is:
What happens if it did put from there?
Now your going to write scripts, make that same mistake, the database is
going to fix it for you.
Your going to port/share your scripts, and someone else's database won't be
so helpful, they are not going to want to dig through the problem.

Funny. I liked the self-referential acronym bit. I don't like computers
(or computer languages or OSs) that "know" what I want to do but refuse to
do it. An example from our own wonderful SQLPlus:
SQL> select table_name sys.dba_tables;
select table_name sys.dba_tables
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
Now why doesn't it just put the "FROM" in and get on with it? It "knows"
what's missing!! Is it doing this to embarrass and annoy me or am I just
being paranoid (and if I'm going to be "nuts" I'd rather be paranoid than a
single-noid).

I am NOT the guy who beats up calculators. I might "slip stick" them a bit.
Interesting concept. Almost like the "NorthStar" from american car

Well, if the subject didn't cause you to delete this message out of hand,
you're in for a treat.
This is very funny, in a geeky sort of fashion. If you know anything at all
about cryptography, you'll appreciate this.
