Thread: SELECT syntax manual correction

SELECT syntax manual correction

From
Neil Zanella

Hello,

On page 147 of the postgres file reference.pdf the synopsis for the
SELECT statement is missing table aliases:

FROM from_item [, ...] ]

should read

FROM from_item [from_item_alias] [, ...]


Best Regards,

Neil

But from_item links to a section below which has a description for
aliases, right?

No, because aliases are included in the definition of from_item.
