Rick Shaw commented on CASSANDRA-2474:
--------------------------------------
The keyword "AS" may be a bit confusing to SQL users. It is a optional keyword
that signifies that that the following word is to be taken has an alias for the
first word. In CQL context it would more appropriately be used for giving a
text label to a numeric (or whatever) column name. I readily admit I do not
really understand how this feature works. Even if it is used, it would seem you
would declare it in the reverse order? Like:
{code}
SELECT column_name AS alias FROM CF;
{code}
Could "WITH" be a substitute for "AS" in this compound context?

> For the most part, this boils down to supporting the specification of
> compound column names (the CQL syntax is colon-delimted terms), and then
> teaching the decoders (drivers) to create structures from the results.
