Use of table alias

Get Help
1

I read here that we cannot use table alias.

But I need table alias for where exists into the same table itself. Like this

select col1, col2, col3 from table a
where exists (select 1 from table a2 where a.id = a2.id and a.col1='xxx')

What is the workaround? I'm using v0.35.1

Thanks

@erich.sw But you don’t need to alias a - just a2, which you’re not using for Field Filter anyway, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
