{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I ever use an alias in WHERE?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Not portably. Because WHERE runs before SELECT, standard SQL has no alias there. Some engines relax this in GROUP BY or HAVING (MySQL does; PostgreSQL and SQL Server do not). The portable habit: repeat the expression, or compute it in a subquery/CTE (Topics 16-17)."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does the order of columns in the SELECT list matter?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Semantically no — SQL is set-based. Practically yes for clients: column order is what drivers, exports, and SELECT * consumers observe, and it can break positional consumers if it changes."}}]}
