[nfbcs] Counting parentheses

[Gary Wunder]

When I count them I count the left paren as 1 and the right paren as minus 1
so if the number doesn't equal zero, I have made a mistake.

I am having trouble keeping track of parentheses in complicated SQL
statements.  Perhaps when I know SQL better, it will be less confusing.
Sometimes I have an abacus handy to keep track of counts, but not always. 
What methods do people use to make sure there is a ) for each (?
Thanks.
Tracy
