Hi,
when creating a query with a subselect
SELECT name, (SELECT max(pop) FROM cities WHERE cities.state = states.name) AS max_pop
FROM states;
then it is not possible to sort after max_pop or use max_pop in a function or a CASE.
am I dont anything wrong or is this meant to be the case?
Thanks
Alex

Hm. Here it works.
select 1 as foo,(select 2) as bar union select 5 as foo,(select 1) as
bar order by bar;
foo | bar
-----+-----
5 | 1
1 | 2
Postgresql 7.4.2 in this case.
You can also use the whole query as a subselect, for example:
SELECT name, max_pop FROM
(SELECT name, (SELECT max(pop) FROM cities WHERE
cities.state=st ates.name) AS max_pop FROM states) as statepop;
if you want to filter with where clauses or whatever.

You can't use the alias name in the sort, case, where etc.. you have
to use the entire subselect.
So you would order by (select max(pop)...)
and you would also case the full thing as well.
A bit of a pain but Tom Lane explained it in a post a couple days ago
and said the system was optimized so it actually only ran the subquery
once.

Here max_pop is naming the whole subselect. How about something like:
SELECT name, max_pop
FROM
states,
(SELECT state AS target_state, max(pop) AS max_pop FROM cities) AS pops
WHERE
states.name = pops.target_sta te

Hello,
I would like to ask the about the following...
PostgreSQL allows tables resulting from subselects to be renamed with
an optional AS keyword whereas Oracle 9 will report an error whenever
a table is renamed with the AS keyword. Furthermore, in PostgreSQL
when the result of a subselect is referenced in an outer select
it is required that the subselect result be named, whereas this
is not true in Oracle. I wonder what standard SQL...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
