I think the reason I'm having trouble finding this in my SQL books is I don't know what to call them.
In VFP I could say
SELECT field1, {} as mydate, guid() as myguid, space(10) as mytextfield
etc.
What are the SQL equivalents whenn writing remote view code? And what do you call these 'phoney fields' in a select statement ?
TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
