Hmmm... That is strange. but according to the PostgreSQL documentation on select you can add the option [AS] keyword between the table_name and alias. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-select.html [ ONLY ] table_name [ * ] [ [ AS ] alias [ ( column_alias [, ...] ) ] ] ( select ) [ AS ] alias [ ( column_alias [, ...] ) ] select a.inspect_id, a.inspect_result_id, a.inspect_result_pass, a.inspect_result_timestamp from t_inspect_result AS a join ( select max(t_inspect_result.inspect_result_timestamp) as mstamp, t_inspect_result.inspect_id from t_inspect_result group by t_inspect_result.inspect_id ) AS b on a.inspect_result_timestamp = b.mstamp ; Regards, Richard Broersma Jr. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
