Looks like DB path prefix was ignored everywhere except in conditions. E.g. 
here it would work, but nowhere else:

 select p.estimatedPrice from Painting p WHERE  db:p.ESTIMATED_PRICE > 2

Since expanding it to SELECT clause didn't require a parser change, the fix was 
actually pretty easy. I just committed it. See 
5869e40f61e547cb33285803eede286a780cb0f3 and CAY-2102.
