I have a website that interfaces with a legacy system database where I do something very similar.

I don't control the database, so all my queries are ad hoc. I have a class that takes different query parts (security, formatting, etc) and combines them into a single query string returning multiple datasets. But the queries are so complex and large (my max is 11 pages) that I need to have them well formatted for debugging. There's nothing like taking a 11 page query that's been optimized for space and trying to format it by hand in Query Analyzer.

So I format the query parts within my query generator class as multiline const string literals (@), and when the class is instantiated it combines all the query parts into readonly static queries. A compiler directive is used to run a regex minifier over the query strings if the application isn't in debug mode. So, for debugging, I can capture queries as they're run and paste them from Profiler into QA and have a nicely formatted, humongous query to debug whereas when in release mode the query is squeezed down as much as possible.

Whew. That was long winded.
