Upss. Almost, but not quite. I've just read the manual on that (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/queries-table-expressions.html) and it looks like "col1", "col2", etc in the above example are column *aliases*. Right? So I have to list *all* the columns of the aliased table irrespectively if I need any of them within the output, or not. It's a pity standard didn't choose to make column aliasing optional, allowing for cherry pick what's aliased like following: .. JOIN table AS tb(column7 [as alias1], column3 [as alias2],...) thenx anyway, "Mandatory" column aliasing is helpfull too. -R -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
