POSSIBLE AMBIGUOUS COLUMN error message generated with the Query Window


An ambiguous column reference error message may be produced in the QueryWindow when no columns have been selected from a table used in the current query. For example, if we select TABLE1, TABLE2 and TABLE3 as TEST and then select COUNT(*) and <all columns> from TABLE1 and TABLE2, WHERE TABLE1.column=TEST.column, the query will will be incorrectly built with an automatic alias instead of the assigned alias of TEST.

This has been corrected at 6.12 TSLEVEL 040 and above.
