I've never used it with a monster query but I do use it's inverse all the time.

Create table test1 as (select * from test2 where 1=0);

This creates a copy of the structure of the original. Leave off the where and you also copy the data. Maybe they just want to make explicit that which is implicit.

I was monitoring a load test of my company's new application when I came across something interesting. One of the more monstrous queries had the following as part of its WHERE clause: 'AND 1 = 1'

Has anyone seen this used before? What is it supposed to achieve?
