As it turns out, this method does not work in the WO application. (It does work 
when executing it from a SQL command line) The fetch spec fails when the new 
column is included the sort:

EvaluateExpression failed: 
<com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.OraclePlugIn$OracleExpression: SELECT (EXTRACT(YEAR 
FROM APPT_DATE) * 100 + EXTRACT(MONTH FROM APPT_DATE)) AS "YEARMTH", FROM 
the_table t0 ORDER BY t0.YEARMTH ASC, 
    Next exception:SQL State:42000 -- error code: 904 -- msg: ORA-00904: 
"T0"."YEARMTH": invalid identifier


If the new column is removed from the sort then the select statement works:
SELECT (EXTRACT(YEAR FROM APPT_DATE) * 100 + EXTRACT(MONTH FROM APPT_DATE)) AS 
“YEARMTH" FROM the_table t0


This is the new column created in EntityModeler:
(EXTRACT(YEAR FROM APPT_DATE) * 100 + EXTRACT(MONTH FROM APPT_DATE)) AS 
“YEARMTH"


Any other ideas, other than creating a new view in the database or new column 
in the table?
