I have never seen this done before, but it seems like it is supposed to work
from reading the manual.
I want to be able to get a table name from another table and use it in the
from clause of a select.
Something like
SELECT * FROM (SELECT name FROM bar WHERE conditions) AS b WHERE b.condition
= xxx;
which translates to something like
SELECT * FROM Dealer AS b WHERE b.zipcode = 12345;
The translated version works but the SELECT in FROM version reports that
b.condition does not exist.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
