I have a query like this: SELECT a,b,c, (select problem from other_table where id=a) as problem FROM mytable WHERE a=1 So far so good. Actually "problem" always resolves to one record, so it's not the "multiple records returned" problem. What I try to do is this: SELECT a,b,c, (select problem from other_table where id=a) as problem FROM mytable WHERE a=1 and problem = 3 see the "problem=3" part in the where clause? The error I get is SQLError: (ProgrammingError) column "problem" does not exist
You need to wrap the whole SELECT in order to be able to use the column alias: SELECT * FROM ( SELECT a, b, c, (select problem from other_table where id=a) as problem FROM mytable ) t WHERE a=1 AND problem = 3 Regards Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
