"USE customers" is only needed in more complex queries

I like the syntax and layout, but don't include unecessary punctuation (;).

This practice is great, especially if you have a lot of fields and there are some that have aliases. It can take a little more time to read because you have to scroll, but is very clear.

In my last position, I often had to deal with multiple (+20) fields in the SELECT statement. It was easiest to read if the FROM statement was on a subsequent line; that way you will instantly know the table being used and will understand if a field is unfamiliar. Great shortcode though
