Let's see what EnterpriseDB produces:
test=> select * from dual;
dummy
------- X
(1 row)
Yep, elegant gets my vote. ;) But then again, Oracle also created
VARCHAR2 and told everyone to start using that, just in case they ever
modified VARCHAR to be SQL compliant. Thankfully we have you guys, so PG
won't go down a similar route.
