Re: How do you use Aliases?

     Hah! That was it. I didn't realize UID was a reserved word. Porting
from MySQL to Oracle, and it didn't occur to me that UID would be reserved
in Oracle.

     I suspect there's something in Python that treats UID differently as a
reserved word. I did have to quote it in all other clients, so EMPLID "UID"
so perhaps they handle the quoted differently or something. Not sure.

     Anyhow, thanks for the pointer. (:
