you can easily turn it into an executable stored procedure, run it
through "EXECUTE PROCEDURE" instead of "SELECT FROM", thus gaining a)
more portability among different database engines, and b) less
reprimands from folks here. :-)

have a look at WHEN; you can find examples in the stored procedures of
the employee sample database.
