Re: [GENERAL] Unexpected result from selecting an aliased but non-existing column called name

This only seems to happen with name, and only if it is referenced with the table name or alias. Ian Barwick See this recent thread for explanation: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2010-02/msg01038.php Thanks for the info, apologies for the delay in replying. Certainly explains what's going on, though it seems a bit of a gotcha.
