Subject Re: [firebird-support] Select column AS [column name] with space

That will work.
Here's a real-life example I just changed using your question:
select
ii.partno,sum(ii.inv_qty),extractweekday(ih.inv_date),ih.inv_date,ih.acno
"account number"
from invhead ih
join invitems ii
on ii.inv_nmbr=ih.inv_nmbr
group by ii.partno,ih.inv_date,ih.inv_date,ih.acno

select
ii.partno,sum(ii.inv_qty),extractweekday(ih.inv_date),ih.inv_date,ih.acno as
"account number"
from invhead ih
join invitems ii
on ii.inv_nmbr=ih.inv_nmbr
group by ii.partno,ih.inv_date,ih.inv_date,ih.acno

Note that you do not require the "AS" although it may help with readability.
