Not only is this really gross, it's also straight up wrong. It's missing a from clause, and it makes no sense for a where clause to be nested under the select. The select list selects columns from rows that have already been filtered by the where clause. Same for the limit.

Also just gonna go ahead and assume the JSX parser will happily allow SQL injection attacks...

Clearly you've not had to write and maintain much XML.

I have not. I just thought it looks less goofy than a nested SQL statement split over multiple lines.

What are the issues with XML?
