Subject: Use derived expression in select statement

Message-ID: <000f01c37a78$4ea53560$076c32d2@athlon2000> (raw)
I am converting a database from Sybase and have found the following command
does not work in the same fashion.
select dy_c , dy_sect as tsect, (cy_bfwd + dy_p1T4) as curr_bal from fclitot
where dy_yr = 0 and (curr_bal) <-0.005
In the actual command used curr_bal is calculated from a very much longer
expression and rather than repeat the expression I simply refer to it by its
assigned name in sybase.
In postgres it tells me curr_bal is not found. is their a simular shorthand
available in postgres? curr_bal is calc from about 12 fields :{
thanks
Richard
