    I can't argue with the facts.
    
    But you're writing an ugly piece of code and building up technical debt. 
That is a bad idea.
    
    Maybe you need to revisit how you deal with JSON arrays.


> Allow full schema identifier in SELECT clause

>             Project: Apache Drill
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: SQL Parser
>            Reporter: Andries Engelbrecht
>
> Currently Drill requires aliases to identify columns in the SELECT clause 
> when working with multiple tables/workspaces.
> Many BI/Analytical and other tools by default will use the full schema 
> identifier in the select clause when generating SQL statements for execution 
> for generic JDBC or ODBC sources. Not supporting this feature causes issues 
> and a slower adoption of utilizing Drill as an execution engine within the 
> larger Analytical SQL community.
> Propose to support 
> SELECT <storage_plugin>.<workspace>.<table>.<column> FROM 
> <storage_plugin>.<workspace>.<table>
> Also see DRILL-3510 for double quote support as per ANSI_QUOTES
> SELECT "<storage_plugin>"."<workspace>"."<table>"."<column>" FROM 
> "<storage_plugin>"."<workspace>"."<table>"
> Which is very common generic SQL being generated by most tools when dealing 
> with a generic SQL data source.
