This PR expands the accepted SQL of DuckDB once again to add support for Aliases before
SELECT
andFROM
expressions. Often, having the alias first increases readability. We use the colon:
to separate aliases from expressions. For example, the following querycan now be written like so:
Aliases can be quoted if necessary, only double quotes are supported.
Prefix aliases also name expressions, function calls, subqueries, etc. e.g.:
This also works in the
FROM
clause, even if the example is somewhat nonsensical:One restriction is that due to parser limited lookahead (to be fixed eventually), there can not be column renames in prefix aliases in the
FROM
clause, so this does NOT workCC @lloydtabb @szarnyasg @Alex-Monahan
