Strange that no real term exists for it. I searched the "Oracle
Database, Application Server, and Collaboration Suite Documentation"
for "Using Sql to write Sql", however, I found nothing. Google gives
150 hits, mostly books.
Why doesn't Oracle give it a name? Daniel A. Morgan also only calls it
"it".
The reason behind: I wanted to find out whether mySQL also has "it".
But without a name it is difficult to search for it.
btw
During my search I found that the pipe sign || works completely
different within mySQL:
.....MySQL Server understands the || and && operators to mean logical
OR and AND, as in the C programming language. In MySQL Server, || and
OR are synonyms, as are && and AND. Because of this nice syntax, MySQL
Server doesn't support the standard SQL || operator for string
concatenation; use CONCAT() instead
Unbelievable, they don't support standard SQL "because of this nice
syntax, "
