Problem Statement
When writing certain analytical queries it is useful to be able to refer to "grandparent" fields, for instance:
WITH myvalues
AS (
SELECT 1 AS a
)
SELECT (
SELECT subquery1.a
FROM (
SELECT a.b as a
FROM generate_series(1, 2) a(b)
WHERE a.b = myvalues.a
) subquery1
)
FROM myvalues;
This currently fails with:
UnsupportedFeatureException[Cannot use relation "myvalues" in this context. Can only access columns of an immediate parent, not a grandparent]
However in PostgreSQL it is accepted:
a
---
1
(1 row
Possible Solutions
Resolve field names like in PostgreSQL
Considered Alternatives
Depends on the situation, in some queries it is for instance possible to bring filtering one level up, into a CTE, using arrays, and then process them with array expressions at a single-row level.
