yeah, well: the above thing is just a test-case. in my real-world 
application i select columns with the same names but from different 
tables. something like
select a.foo, b.foo from a, b where....

since i access the result set by column position i dont care about the 
column name, so renaming is not necessary for me.

thanks for having a look at it
