You indent your JOIN? Why on earth? It lives in the same context as the SELECT.

I've seen both approaches and I think they're both quite reasonable. An indented join is my preference since it makes sub queries more logically indented... but our coding standards allow either approach. We've even got a few people that like

FROM foo
JOIN bar ON foo.id = bar.fooid
JOIN baz ON bar.id = baz.barid

Actually not. It's part of the FROM

That double indented from is hurting me
