create from dbo.fromExample
as
from dbo.Customers c
join dbo.Invoices i
on c.CustomerID = i.CustomerID

now you can use it as follows:

select c.CustomerID, i.InvoiceNo
from dbo.fromExample

I find I reuse FROM clauses alot

and reusing a "base query" requires writing a very large and cumbersome
select clause
