It's a table alias. There may be only one table, but to do this in a single
query you need to reference 3 "instances" of that same table.
Hmmm ... let me make the distinction more clear:
SELECT wid, (SELECT SUM(oil) FROM prd_data prd2 WHERE prd2.wid = prd1.wid ORDER BY "date" LIMIT 6) as
tot_oil, (SELECT SUM(hours) FROM prd3 WHERE prd3.wid = prd1.wid ORDER BY "date" LIMIT 6) as tot_hours
FROM prd_data prd1
ORDER BY wid;
