Commenting lines of SQL
We can add comments to our code when developing script
These will be ignored by the query engine and are designed as a prompt for a developer
Some like including it, others don't but it can be useful in the right context
A comment for a single line of SQL only starts with two dashes --
e.g. --This is a comment on a single line
Comments can go over multiple lines when enclosed between /*
and */
/*
This is a comment
on multiple lines
*/
