I've seen a 14 page (9 point Courier point) SQL which was generated by my ol' favourite Discoverer! It actually ran fine, it was more of Discover's penchant for writing code along the lines of:

select <column_list> from
 ( select <column_list> from

    ( select <column_list> from

       ( select <column_list> from
           ( select <column_list> from
                 ( select <column_list> from

you get the idea...

:-)
