When I run the following query:
Select Can as MiCantidad, MiCantidad * 2 from Stocks limit 10
I get the following error:
'The column 'MiCantidad' in field list is unknown' So, Can I reference to a column by its alias in a select statement?
Thanks in advance, Rafa
How-To-Repeat: Select Can as MiCantidad, MiCantidad * 2 from stocks limit 10
Hi!
This is not a bug.
You can not reference an alias in the select list.
You can do it freely in WHERE, ON , GROUP BY and other clauses.
Not quite...
Not in a WHERE clause. Well, table aliases, yes; column aliases, no.
