I'm not familiar with the term "custom result". GamesWonByPlayer1 is just a 
column alias which a) is completely optional, you could safely drop it from the 
query (I've just included it for clarity), and b) does not in any way interfere 
with sqlite3_column_* API (on which, I guess, getColumn is based in whatever 
language binding you are using).

Basically, yes. With SQLite, you could address a column by name or by position 
(numbered left to right starting from 0). Column alias in the query makes it 
more convenient to do the former.
