Hi XING,
I appreciate your kindness. :-D Your detailed and prompt replies really helped 
me a lot.
I will review the java doc you mentioned.


Best wishes,
Trista

You can check the below doc of SqlValidatorUtil#getAlias for explanation:

/**
* Derives an alias for a node, and invents a mangled identifier if it
* cannot.
*
* <p>Examples:
*
* <ul>
* <li>Alias: "1 + 2 as foo" yields "foo"
* <li>Identifier: "foo.bar.baz" yields "baz"
* <li>Anything else yields "expr$<i>ordinal</i>"
* </ul>
*
* @return An alias, if one can be derived; or a synthetic alias
* "expr$<i>ordinal</i>" if ordinal &lt; 0; otherwise null
*/
public static String getAlias(SqlNode node, int ordinal)

But from my experience, you'd better not rely on above logic heavily. If
you really care about the output name, just give it an alias explicitly.

That means Calcite can only return real columnName or columnLabel from
simple column or alias. And any aggregate function, or calculate expression
without alias, parsing expression, i.e, `EXPR$0` will be returned?

Thank for your reply. It is a indirect way to get columnName.


Calcite can not return the real columnName from SQL, is it right?

You can try to give an alias for the selected column.

Hi everyone,


I executed SQL `select count(*) from tb1` through Calcite and
resultSet.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) in my project. But the result is
`EXPR$0` not `COUNT(*)`.


Is there any way to get real columnName?


Thanks for your attention.


Regard,
Trista
