Hello all.

Is there a way to reuse in the SELECT list columns defined earlier
in it ? With PostgreSQL 8.0, I couldn't manage to do it :

  => CREATE table a (x int);
  CREATE TABLE
  => CREATE table b (y int);
  CREATE TABLE
  => SELECT x * y AS xy, xy + xy AS twoxy FROM a, b;
  ERROR:  column "xy" does not exist
