WHY!?!?! this works with simple sql: select a."field1" - b."field2" from (select field1 as "field1" from someTable) as a, (select field2 as "field2" from someOtherTable) as b; but with my more complex sql, it doesn't. it comes out as a literal string. it's almost like postgresql forgot to process this column. select cred_vend_acct_table.num as "num" , cred_vend_acct_table.name as "name" , abs_vend_acct_type_table.name as "name" , Debit."cumm_dbt_blnce" - Credit."cumm_crd_blnce" as "undefined" , Debit."cumm_dbt_blnce" as "cumm_dbt_blnce" , Credit."cumm_crd_blnce" as "cumm_crd_blnce" , cred_vend_acct_table.objid as "__OBJID__" , cred_vend_acct_table.clsref as "__CLSREF__" from only cred_vend_acct_table , abs_vend_acct_type_table , ( select daily_acct_blnce_table.cumm_dbt_blnce as "cumm_dbt_blnce" from only daily_acct_blnce_table where ( ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.company_objid *= 2147483647 ) ) and ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.status = 'e' ) ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[2] = cred_vend_acct_table.objid ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[1] = cred_vend_acct_table.clsref ) and daily_acct_blnce_table.dte = ( select max(daily_acct_blnce_table.dte) as "dte" from only daily_acct_blnce_table where ( ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.company_objid *= 147483647 ) ) and ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.status = 'e' ) ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[2] = cred_vend_acct_table.objid ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[1] = cred_vend_acct_table.clsref ) ) ) ) ) as Debit , ( select daily_acct_blnce_table.cumm_crd_blnce as "cumm_crd_blnce" from only daily_acct_blnce_table where ( ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.company_objid *= 2147483647 ) ) and ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.status = 'e' ) ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[2] = cred_vend_acct_table.objid ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[1] = cred_vend_acct_table.clsref ) and daily_acct_blnce_table.dte = ( select max(daily_acct_blnce_table.dte) as "dte" from only daily_acct_blnce_table where ( ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.company_objid *= 2147483647 ) ) and ( ( daily_acct_blnce_table.status = 'e' ) ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[2] = cred_vend_acct_table.objid ) and ( daily_acct_blnce_table.abs_acct_objref[1] = cred_vend_acct_table.clsref ) ) ) ) ) as Credit where ( ( ( cred_vend_acct_table.company_objid *= 2147483647 ) and ( abs_vend_acct_type_table.company_objid *= 2147483647 ) ) and ( ( cred_vend_acct_table.status = 'e' ) and ( abs_vend_acct_type_table.status = 'e' ) ) and cred_vend_acct_table.owner_objref[1] = 100110 and cred_vend_acct_table.owner_objref[2] = 2147483647 and ( ( ( cred_vend_acct_table.abs_acct_type_objref[1] = abs_vend_acct_type_table.clsref ) and ( cred_vend_acct_table.abs_acct_type_objref[2] = abs_vend_acct_type_table.objid ) ) ) ) order by 2 asc limit 100 Regards, Floyd Shackelford 4 Peaks Technology Group, Inc.
