Oracle Select Syntax into Postgres

I am converting Oracle Syntax into Postgres

SELECT MSN_INT_ID,
       M开发者_如何学CO_INT_ID,
       'Y'   "AIRMOVE"
  FROM MISSION_OBJECTIVE
 WHERE MO_MSN_CLASS_CD = 'AMV'
 GROUP BY MSN_INT_ID,
          MO_INT_ID

This part is confusing me:

SELECT MSN_INT_ID,
       MO_INT_ID,
       'Y'   "AIRMOVE"

What is the 'Y' "AIRMOVE" doing?

The snippet 'Y' "AIRMOVE" introduces a computed column into the select-list named AIRMOVE whose value is always 'Y'.

It's a computed column, using a statically defined value.

Part of the confusion may be coming from PostgreSQL 8.3 or earlier, where the "AS" keyword is not optional.

Change:

'Y'   "AIRMOVE"

To:

'Y' AS "AIRMOVE"

And it should work fine. The keyword is optional starting in version 8.4, although I advocate always including it to avoid issues exactly like this one.
