Some AVA SQL conventions

Keyword cases

Keywords are case-insensitive. Both the low case or upper case, or mixed case will point to the same keyword. However, the column names and table names are case-sensitive.

Column assignment

A column can be created from an SQL update. There are two ways to assign a resulting column to a named column:

SQL convention

The "AS" clause to assign the results to a column. 

ava> update low * 123.1 as new_low from a
0.024 seconds elapsed.

Non-SQL convention

A shortcut to create a column is by the syntax: "COLUMN_NAME: ...": 

ava> update new_low: low * 123.1 from a
0.029 seconds elapsed.

Both will generate the same result: 

ava> select * from a
TABLE NAME: a | NUMBER OF RECORDS: 3,252,871

      date |     sec_id |       open |       high |        low |      close |     volume |  adj_close |    new_low |
