Re: A Bug about SQL Query Analysis(SQL 2000 AND SQL Server 2005)

That's a bit different to your original example. There is no bug here.
In the following query:

SELECT
Lorry.id
cinvcode
FROM TempDB..[Lorry1] AS TmpTotal
LEFT JOIN Lorry ON TmpTotal.id=Lorry.id

cinvcode is correctly interpreted as an *alias* for the column Lorry.id
therefore the query is perfectly legal in standard SQL syntax. It's
equivalent to:

SELECT Lorry.id AS cinvcode
FROM TempDB..[Lorry1] AS TmpTotal
LEFT JOIN Lorry ON TmpTotal.id=Lorry.id

The AS keyword is optional.

Having said that, you are still using the RTM version of SQL Server
2000 so I strongly recommend you upgrade it.

Whenever possible please post enough code to reproduce your problem.
Including CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements usually helps.
State what version of SQL Server you are using and specify the content
of any error messages.
