Aliased joined tables

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

Some SQL dialects follow the SQL standard that allows for aliasing also joined tables, i.e. the product of a JOIN operator, not just the individual JOIN operands. If that isn't available, jOOQ will try to emulate the feature assuming there can't be any column ambiguities.

Table<?> t = AUTHOR.join(BOOK).on(AUTHOR.ID.eq(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID)).as("t");

Dialect support

This example using jOOQ:

selectFrom(AUTHOR.join(BOOK).on(AUTHOR.ID.eq(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID)).as("t"))

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

Access

SELECT
  t.ID,
  t.FIRST_NAME,
  t.LAST_NAME,
  t.DATE_OF_BIRTH,
  t.YEAR_OF_BIRTH,
  t.DISTINGUISHED,
  t.ID,
  t.AUTHOR_ID,
  t.TITLE,
  t.PUBLISHED_IN,
  t.LANGUAGE_ID
FROM (
  AUTHOR
    INNER JOIN BOOK
      ON AUTHOR.ID = BOOK.AUTHOR_ID
) t
