    Hello,

    I have a question regarding || operator and alias columns.

    The query Give below is working successfully.

    SELECT FKI_STAFF_ID || 'T' || F_AMOUNT AS "AMOUNT" FROM TBL_ADVANCE_PAYMENT;

    But the following query do not works.

    SELECT FKI_STAFF_ID AS "SID" || 'T' || F_AMOUNT AS "AMOUNT" FROM TBL_ADVANCE_PAYMENT;

    Please can any one explain the reason for this....

    Hello

    In the first query
    SELECT FKI_STAFF_ID || 'T' || F_AMOUNT AS "AMOUNT" FROM TBL_ADVANCE_PAYMENT;

    "AMOUNT" is the alias for column name FKI_STAFF_ID || 'T' || F_AMOUNT

    But in the second query
    SELECT FKI_STAFF_ID AS "SID" || 'T' || F_AMOUNT AS "AMOUNT" FROM TBL_ADVANCE_PAYMENT;

    You have used 2 Alias for single column "SID" & "AMOUNT" . Please check the syntax
