Is there a way to make a query more efficient by executing a sub-select
only once?<br>
<br>
In a query such as:<br>
<br>
<tt>SELECT a, (select b from c where d = e limit 1), npoints( (select b
from c where d = e limit 1) )<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FROM f<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WHERE isValid( (select b from c where d = e limit 1) );<br>
</tt><br>
I do the same sub-select 3 times in the query.&nbsp; I tried the following:<br>
<br>
<tt>SELECT a, (select b from c where d = e limit 1)<b> AS g</b>,
npoints( <b>g</b> )<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FROM f<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WHERE isValid( <b>g</b> );<br>
</tt><br>
But this gave an error regarding "column 'g' does not exist".&nbsp; How can
I avoid making the same sub-select 3 times? <br>
<br>
