Description
- SQL::Abstract::Pg version: 1.0
- Perl version: v5.34
- Operating system: Ubuntu Linux 21.04
It's not possible to create table aliases in generated SQL queries. This would be useful for generating queries where a table is JOINed to itself. Especially useful if someone wants to create an ORM based on Mojo::Pg.
A suggestion would be to allow the following syntax:
$abstract->select(
[
\'"a" as "t1"',
[ \'"a" as "t2"', '"t2"."parent_id"' => '"t1"."id"' ],
],
);

Research direction
Start with the select API and the proposed self-join syntax in the issue, then trace how JOIN arguments are converted into SQL and review existing query-generation tests. Done means table aliases are accepted and produce valid PostgreSQL for a table joined to itself, with regression coverage.
