I was curious if anyone knows how you describe the following SQL 
functionality:

SELECT 'mike' as name

returns a single column named "name" with a single row containing "mike"

I also know you can do stuff like:

SELECT 1

Which returns a column named "1" with a single row containing "1", or:

SELECT 4/2

which returns a column named "4/2" with a single row containing "2.000"

The last one is obvious as it's SQL arithmetic, but what are the first 
two examples?  Are those also examples of "SQL arithmetic" as well?  I 
can't find this kind of SQL functionality described or documented 
anywhere on the net.

Thanks!
Mike
