Long ago I wrote a query which was greatly improved (i.e., it actually

/* This query selects all activity information for a named person */
SELECT p.lname, p.fname, p.loc_nbr, p.job_title, p.direct_phone,
p.active,
o.org_name,
l.loc_nbr, l.loc_name,
a.act_date, a.act_type, a.notes, a.next_contact
FROM People AS p
JOIN Organizations AS o ON o.org_nbr = p.org_nbr
JOIN Locations AS l ON l.org_nbr = o.org_nbr and l.loc_nbr =
p.loc_nbr
JOIN Activities AS a ON a.person_nbr = p.person_nbr
WHERE p.lname = &p.lname AND p.fname = &p.fname;
These look like value substitutions, usually done on the client at it
sends the sql. How is this sql getting to the server (presumably after
substitution).
