Description
I've a columns variable in which I'm conditionally adding column name based on whether field is enable or not. There is one field createdBy which I want to select as creator.email AS creatorEmail where creator is an alias of the users table. Following is the sample code.
let columns = [];
if (view.field === "id") {
columns.push("companies.id");
}
// ... other fields condition
if (view.field === "createdBy") {
columns.push("creator.email AS creatorEmail");
}
Then following the query I'm trying to run.
sql`
select
${sql(columns)}
from
companies
join
users as creator
on
companies."createdBy" = creator.id`
But, it throw error as
PostgresError: column creator.email AS creatorEmail does not exist
Postgres condering complete string as column name and not As as keyword of Postgres.
Note: I saw one issue where someone suggested to use fragment. But, can I've an example of it? I tried with many different syntax and it doesn't work.

Research direction
Start at the sql tagged-template interpolation shown in the issue, especially sql(columns), and compare it with the fragment usage the issue requests. Done means establishing a supported way to compose the aliased select expression without treating the whole string as an identifier, with an example or test covering it.
