Phabricator commented on HIVE-494: ---------------------------------- cwsteinbach has commented on the revision "HIVE-494 [jira] Select columns by index instead of name". INLINE COMMENTS ql/src/test/queries/clientpositive/select_by_column_index.q:2 Is this syntax part of the SQL standard, or is it an extension specific to Hive? ql/src/test/queries/clientpositive/select_by_column_index.q:5 Please add coverage for JOINs, ORDER BY, HAVING, and UNION clauses, and a negative testcase that shows what happens when an invalid index is referenced.
