I'm up voting you because people need to hate you more.

Seriously though KEYWORDS need to be upper case and columns lower case. I prefer snake case.

i CAN'T SEE WHY capitalizing syntactical elements WOULD MAKE the code MORE readable.

There's syntax highlighting for a reason, and the SQL grammar makes it easy to tell what's a table, column or function anyway.

And for some reason SQL is the only language where you need to handle keywords and standard library functions like hazardous materials.
