Hi!

I find myself repeatedly writing code such as

SELECT (a+b)*c AS value1,
some_function((a+b)*c) AS value2,
some_other_function((a+b)*c) AS value 3
FROM ...

Is there any other way to "reuse" a calculated value by referencing its
alias than through views? E.g.

CREATE VIEW valueview AS SELECT SELECT (a+b)*c AS value1 FROM ...

SELECT value1, some_function(value1) AS value2 ...

I know I can reference the column by its position in GROUP BY, but I
need to reference it in the field list as well as in the WHERE condition.

Thanks,

Pepak
