I've never used it with a monster query but I do use it's inverse all the
time.
Create table test1 as (select * from test2 where 1=0);
This creates a copy of the structure of the original. Leave off the where
and you also copy the data. Maybe they just want to make explicit that
which is implicit.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
I was monitoring a load test of my company's new
application when I came across something interesting.
One of the more monstrous queries had the following as
part of its WHERE clause: 'AND 1 = 1'
Has anyone seen this used before? What is it supposed
to achieve?
