Here's a simple reformulation which breaks you out of the structure you dislike: > Since the database layout is sufficiently similar across all source data formats, we can write a single SQL query to export each output data format. You could also rephrase for clarity, if you feel the original isn't clear enough. This probably requires some expansion, to make sure to get in all the details and reasoning that you consider both (a) crucial and (b) not necessarily obvious to the reader. > Since the database layout is sufficiently independent from the source data format, our export format need not rely on the original source format. Therefore, the implementation of each export format requires only a single SQL query.
