Very Easy SQL Question--Someone Please Help

[Bill]

This is as simple as it gets--

I know two dashes "--" Cancels out a line

How can I cancel out a whole paragraph of code without having to delete and
copy paste over and over.

For example

if I had a paragraph I wanted to cancel out

AND f.end_dte = (SELECT MAX(f.end_dte)
from bfg_admin.db_ann_earning_hist f
where f.emp_employee_id = e.db_employee_id
and h.emp_employee_id = f.emp_employee_id
AND c.emp_employee_id = e.db_employee_id
AND e.db_employee_id = d.emp_employee_id
AND g.rel_ind_indicative_id = d.ind_indicative_id)

What could I write in the beginning and the end of the paragraph so that
SQL ignores it.

Put the following around the paragraph.

/*

comment in SQL.
