That includes OLAP expressions. I believe this is so because, according to part 2, section 10.10 (), a can be any and if you follow the grammar for , it can resolve to be a (see section 6.3), which can in turn resolve to be a . This reasoning is supported by tracing the hotlinks on the following page which lays out the SQL 2003 BNF: http://savage.net.au/SQL/sql-2003-2.bnf.html This interpretation is further supported by the example of an ORDER BY clause referencing an OLAP expression which is provided on page 23 of the introduction to OLAP written by Fred Zemke, Krishna Kulkarni, Andy Witkowski, and Bob Lyle: www.cse.iitb.ac.in/dbms/Data/Papers-Other/SQL1999/OLAP-99-154r2.pdf -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
