Why do you think it's non-conformant? AFAICS SQL92 section 6.4 <column reference> Access Rule 1(a) requires exactly this behavior. I notice that Annex E item 5 points this out as an incompatibility with SQL89 ... maybe Oracle is still on SQL89 ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
