    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5248?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17613453#comment-17613453 ]

I have created a few potential edge cases for extended column Aliasing

>             Project: Calcite
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>            Reporter: Jay Narale
>            Priority: Major

> Based on the discussion here [1].
> The goal is to support exteneded column aliasing in where , on clause and select List. An example is Teradata [2]
> A few edge cases to be considered for proper semantics
> 1. When SubQuery( maybe table) in from and Alias have the same name eg 
> {code:java}
>  SELECT  c_customerId as c FROM ( SELECT c FROM table) WHERE c = 'test' {code}
> {code:java}
>  SELECT  trim(c_customer_name) as c FROM ( SELECT c FROM table) WHERE c = 'test' {code}
> Comments 
> In a database, the execution order is *FROM > WHERE > SELECT* so the semantics should be that column in the subquery is given priority and a filter is  applied to that column
> Behavior in Teradata
> Consistent with the above, a Filter is applied to the SubQuery
> 2. When a correlated column outside the query has the same name as the alias
> TBD
>       Here I think the behavior should be identical to the behavior in OrderBy
