But column name is specified in inner select with AS clause.
It can be used in outer select and work as expected.

select d from (select c AS d from (select a AS c from test));

I hope you did read my example. You can see explicitly defined

name in select a AS c from test

then again explicitly defined new name

select c AS d from ....

and finally outer select can select only name d or what you think?

select statement gives correct answer or column name

but when you put CREATE TABLE AS in front of this statement you
get a as column name not d in created table. Do you understand that?

So outer select must have select d AS d so column must be renamed
into it self to get proper name?!

If I have long name then I would have

select some_long_name_to_understand_column as some_long_name_to_understand_column

and if I have 20 columns like that. Just ridiculous or what.

So once again I use AS clause but why I must use AS clause in
outer statement if name is already defined in inner select.

The problem lies in your reliance on unspecified behaviour. Unspecified 
behaviour is allowed to change.

I am sure you have read (and ignored) the following guarantee taken from 
http://sqlite.org/c3ref/column_name.html:

"Column Names In A Result Set
...
The name of a result column is the value of the "AS" clause for that column, if 
there is an AS clause. If there is no AS clause then the name of the column is unspecified and 
may change from one release of SQLite to the next."


Here is another common trap to fall into, taken from 
http://sqlite.org/lang_select.html :

" The ORDER BY clause

If a SELECT statement that returns more than one row does not have an ORDER BY 
clause, the order in which the rows are returned is undefined."

The order in which rows are returned is determined by the selected query plan. 
This may change after running ANALYZE, adding or deleting indices, or when 
changes are made to the Query Planner itself.

Betreff: Re: [sqlite] [EXTERNAL] Re: Changed behaviour or bug using field alias 
in 3.21.0

I'm using sqlite from version 2. I have 1000+ sql-s written already. I 
understand that outermost statement must have AS clause as I have explained 
below (select d as d ...).
Sqlite authors always say that new version can not break sql-s for milions of 
users using sqlite. But this change does.

Sorry but I did not ask how can I fix my sql-s.
I know I can create table and insert into.
Change select to select d as d is just ridiculous.
Rename column name into same name. What is that?


Hick Gunter je 22.12.2017 ob 7:55 napisal:
The behaviour does not need to match what you think of as consistent.

The only way to force a certain column name is with the AS clause *on the 
outermost statement*. Otherwise, the column name is implementation defined and 
may change between releases. You should not be relying on column names other 
than those you explicitly set using the AS clause. This is a common mistake.

If you really need the column names, then just CREATE TABLE first (this gives 
you defined column names AND declared data types) and the INSERT INTO ... 
SELECT later (which ignores the generated column names from the select 
statement).

Betreff: [EXTERNAL] Re: [sqlite] Changed behaviour or bug using field
alias in 3.21.0

Behaviour is not consistent when using create table as or just select
statement.
Try this simple test.

create table test(a int, b int);
insert into test values (1, 1);

select d from (select c as d from (select a as c from test));

you get column name d as expected
but when you have create table as statement

create table test2 as
select d from (select c as d from (select a as c from test));

you get table test2 with column name a.

If you change to this

create table test2 as
select d as d from (select c as d from (select a as c from test));

you will get name correct. I think it should be the same as when just using 
select statement.

Best Regards
Radovan


select a from (select b from (select c from test)))

      case
        when AB in ('7') then 99
        when AB in ('57', '58', '59', '5M') then null
        when AB = '56' and ZZ = 12 then 01
        when AB = '56' then 02
        when A = '3' then 03
        when AB in ('1M') then 08
        when AB in ('10') then 07
        when AB in ('12') then null
        when A in ('1', '5') and H = '1' then 02
        when A in ('5') then 02
        when A in ('1') then 01
      end as M4_OP
from (
      select

ifnull(A,'')||ifnull(B,'') as AB,
        ifnull(URE,'') as U, ifnull(H,'') as H, ZZ
      from SOPP1
      );

You will see that first column name is VP instead of P.
In previous versions name was P not VP.
