Hi folks,
I've got an accounts table and a transactions table and want to do a summary
join. If I do:
bank=# select aid, aname, aodraft from accounts a
bank-# left outer join (select account, sum(amount) as balance
bank(# from statement group by account) as s
bank-# on s.account = a.aid;
I get the results I want, but I need to rename the aid column to 'key' so that
I can feed it into a standard routine I have in PHP to build a hash. If I
do:
bank=# select aid as key, aname, aodraft from accounts a
bank-# left outer join (select account, sum(amount) as balance
bank(# from statement group by account) as s
bank-# on s.account = a.key;
I get
ERROR: No such attribute or function 'key'
Any ideas why?
Also, I'm sure I can do this more efficiently as a single select/join, but
can't seem to work out why (Friday morning syndrome). Anyone give me a clue?
