I am having an issue where I build a query that creates columns based on case 
expressions.  The expressions are identical except for a case difference.  The 
result only shows data from the first expression duplicated in both columns.

The query that results in the issue:
select
  mycategory,
  count(case when type = 'typea' then 1 end) as 'test1',
  count(case when type = 'Typea' then 1 end) as 'test2'
from mytable
group by mycategory

Results in a table like this:
mycategory|test1|test2
cat1|500|500
cat2|350|350

But if I change it to:
select
  mycategory,
  count(case when type = 'typea' then 1 end) as 'test1',
  count(case when type = 'Typea' then 2 end) as 'test2'
from mytable
group by mycategory

Results in a table like this:
mycategory|test1|test2
cat1|500|200
cat2|350|150

It's as if, even though I specify an AS clause, it is representing the column 
header internally as the expression (ignoring the unique name I provided), and 
since columns are case insensitive then it just refers to the first column when 
printing it out.
