SQL:2011 gives the syntax of a SELECT list element as <derived column> ::= <value expression> [ <as clause> ] <as clause> ::= [ AS ] <column name> There is not a lot of room for argument there. And we got a lot of complaints back when we didn't support omitting AS. If we're going to get into the business of emitting warnings for required-by-SQL-spec constructs, I'm not sure that this one is where I'd start. Unqualified outer references seem to catch a lot more people. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
