Even when using raw SQL queries with
select().text()
, users often want to cast the response values into native TableBase instances or raw field values. Previously we only supported TableBases or Field wrappers being passed intoselect()
queries, so there was no way to retrieve a value that wasn't already defined in the python schema.This PR adds support for specifying aliases within the initial select() query. This uses our standard postprocessing layer to convert from SQL value response columns into our native objects, but allows users to specify any query value that appears within the SQL text.
