----------------------------------------------------------------
Updated the logic to relax the parsing restriction and the sql string logic to support
table aliases with .
This effectively gives 4 modes to the id parsing:
any id
short name, not an alias
short name alias
single identifier part - added as a post validation method
A known issue is that the logic can not distinguish between a fully qualified name and an
alias with a ., for example:
{code}
select "pm1.g2".*, pm1.g2.* from pm1.g1 as "pm1.g2", pm1.g2
{code}
Results in a resolving exception. However
{code}
select "pm1.g2".* from pm1.g1 as "pm1.g2"
{code}
will resolve locally against the alias as expected and not produce an exception.
You can also do:
{code}
select pm1.g2.* from pm1.g1 as "pm1.g2"
{code}
which is not desirable, but mirrors our overall laxity in name resolution.

Key: TEIID-3439

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3439
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Query Engine
Reporter: Steven Hawkins
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Fix For: 11.0
We currently don't allow column or table aliases to contain '.'. This is
allowable given a quoted identifier is used. However an early design decision of
metamatrix was to relax the rules of naming so that queries against the engine could use
quoting (on not) similar to whatever was expected by a given database rather than the
engine structure. A lot of resolving and parsing logic will need to change unfortunately
to fix this.
