SELECT Clause
You are looking at an older version of the documentation. The latest version is found here.
SQL queries that start with the SELECT keyword are often referred to as 
    SELECT
   statements. The Data Virtuality Server supports most of the standard SQL query constructs.
Usage
SELECT [DISTINCT|ALL] ((expression [[AS] name])|(group identifier.STAR))*|STAR ...
Syntax Rules
- Aliased expressions are only used as the output column names and in the 
ORDER BYclause. They cannot be used in other clauses of the query; DISTINCTmay only be specified if theSELECTsymbols are comparable.
