Who can tell me what the "correct" column names should be
for a UNION.  For example:

  SELECT a, b FROM t1 UNION SELECT x, y FROM t2;

The result set of the query above has two columns.  Should
those columns be named a and b or x and y?

Does anybody know what the SQL standard says?  Do all the
other SQL database engines get it right or is there some
disagreement?
