Re: Why can't I use an "AS" value in the WHERE clause.

Daevid,

SELECT *
    FROM wifi_table
 WHERE active = 1
 HAVING unix_timestamp()-unix_timestamp(last_seen) < 600;

I'm curious when will I be able to do something like this:

SELECT *, IF(( (unix_timestamp()-unix_timestamp(last_seen)) < 
600),1,0) as
active FROM wifi_table WHERE active = 1;

It's so obnoxious, especially since I can do this:

SELECT *, IF(( (unix_timestamp()-unix_timestamp(last_seen)) < 
600),1,0) as
active FROM wifi_table WHERE 
unix_timestamp()-unix_timestamp(last_seen) <
600;

Why do I have to do the math TWICE?!

*sigh*
