Re: "SELECT ... FROM DUAL" is not quite as silly as it appears

I agree with the sentiment.
On the other hand, people who migrate from Oracle might be happy if
there is a DUAL table that allows them to migrate some of their
statements unmodified.

I don't know if that is a good enough argument, though. 
Currently there is "orafce" which provides DUAL, and it might be
good enough if it defines DUAL as a view on DUMMY.
