I have two questions about the use of sql:query:
1) Can sql:query handle aliases of the form "select column1 as alias1 from table1".
2) Can sql:query handle aggregates of the form "select column1, count(*) from table1 group by column1". With reference to 1) above, does count(*) need to be aliased?
Yes to all; here's an example I'm using right now -- works fine :-)
<sql:query var="quantities"> SELECT count(product) as thisQuantity FROM inventoryByProduct WHERE product = ? GROUP BY product <sql:param value="${product}"/> </sql:query>
<c:set var="inventoryCount" value="${quantities.rows[0].thisQuantity}"/>
