Hi all,
I have two queries:
1. SELECT i AS "PK_ID", d AS "Deleted" FROM ( SELECT 52 AS i, true AS d ) x
ORDER BY i
2. SELECT i AS "PK_ID", d AS "Deleted" FROM ( SELECT 49 AS i, true AS d
UNION SELECT 51 AS i, true AS d ) x ORDER BY i
The first returns the columns "PK_ID", "Deleted"
The second returns the columns i, d.
Why ?
TIA,
Sabin

perhaps you are running an old version - both queries produce the same
column names on my 8.2.1 system.

Works for me:
regression=# SELECT i AS "PK_ID", d AS "Deleted" FROM ( SELECT 52 AS i, true AS d ) x ORDER BY i;
PK_ID | Deleted
-------+---------
52 | t
(1 row)
regression=# SELECT i AS "PK_ID", d AS "Deleted" FROM ( SELECT 49 AS i, true AS d UNION SELECT 51 AS i, true AS d ) x ORDER BY i;
PK_ID | Deleted
-------+---------
49 | t
51 | t
(2 rows)
regression=#
What PG version are you using, exactly?

You are right. I use "PostgreSQL 8.1.0 on i686-pc-mingw32, compiled by GCC
gcc.exe (GCC) 3.4.2 (mingw-special)" on Windows.
But I just tried it on a newer version and it works well ( "PostgreSQL 8.1.4
on i686-redhat-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.0.2 20051125 (Red Hat
4.0.2-8)" ).
Thanks a lot,
Sabin
