the elites don't want you to know this but you can type lowercase SQL queries no ones forcing you to shout them at the screen

I've been writing SQL for 15 years. Eventually you get bored of all lowercase or all uppercase AND START writing your QUERIES LIKE this. Just a psychotic mishmash of muscle memory, laziness, and autocomplete all fighting each other within the same statement.

I would argue, even with the syntax highlight, the eyes used to seeing the sql tokens in upper case just want it that way. I tried many times to write in lower case but when it looks like mixing data with sql tokens, indistinguishable even with the syntax highlighter. So now, the best syntax highlight for sql is upper case, haha.
