access a column aliases in the where clause in postgresql

Question

I understand that I may need to do grouping to accomplish this, but I can\'t quite get it. Postgresql 8.1

I am needing to limit my result set to Origination > 2017-01-01

Answer 1

This moves it to the join, which should work for you.

select distribution_stop_information.customer_no,
distribution_line_items.item_number,
distribution_line_items.container_id,
distribution_line_items.item_description,
distribution_stop_information.customer_reference,

SUBSTRING(distribution_stop_information.bol_number,9,4) as ODRT,
distribution_stop_information.branch_id,
distribution_stop_information.route_date,
(select count(innerDLI.item_number)-1 from distribution_line_items innerDLI where innerDLI.item_number = distribution_line_items.item_number) as RDLcount,
o.Origination,
distribution_stop_information.route_code,

    THEN distribution_line_items.exception_code

from distribution_stop_information
inner join distribution_line_items on distribution_line_items.unique_id_no = distribution_stop_information.unique_id_no

on distribution_line_items.item_number = o.item_number
