Query fails because of join with lowercase column

0 Kudos

My query is failing with this error: `invalid column name: OUT_OUT.STORE__ID: line 30 col 10 (at pos 939)`

-- root_node()
SELECT TOP 10000 r.brand__id AS "brand__id",
    dim_brand.name AS "brand",
    r.amount AS "amount"
FROM
(
    -- leaf_node(out, fact_sales)
    SELECT dim_product.brand_id AS brand__id,
        SUM(fact_sales.sales_amt) AS amount
    FROM fact_sales
    JOIN dim_product
      ON dim_product.product_id = fact_sales.product_id
    JOIN dim_store
      ON dim_store.store_id = fact_sales.store_id
    LEFT OUTER JOIN
    (
        -- qualifier_node(out_out)
        SELECT r.store__id AS "store__id"    -- the query works if I write AS "STORE__ID"
        FROM
        (
            -- leaf_node(out_out, dim_store)
            SELECT dim_store.store_id AS store__id
            FROM dim_store
            JOIN dim_region
              ON dim_region.region_id = dim_store.region_id
             AND (LOWER(dim_region.name) = 'southeast')
        ) AS r
    ) AS out_out
      ON out_out.store__id = dim_store.store_id
    WHERE (out_out.store__id IS NOT NULL)
    GROUP BY dim_product.brand_id
) AS r
JOIN dim_brand
  ON dim_brand.brand_id = r.brand__id
ORDER BY r.amount DESC

I can work around the problem if I change the alias to "STORE__ID"; i.e. uppercase.

But lowercase columns seem to work everywhere else. Is it just the join condition that's getting confused by the lowercase column?

Thanks.
