Generate field in MySQL SELECT

Question

If I've got a table containing Field1 and Field2 can I generate a new field in the select statement? For example, a normal query would be:

SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM Table

And I want to also create Field3 and have that returned in the resultset... something along the lines of this would be ideal:

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 = 'Value' FROM Table

Is this possible at all?

Answer 1

SELECT Field1, Field2, 'Value' Field3 FROM Table

or for clarity

SELECT Field1, Field2, 'Value' AS Field3 FROM Table

Answer 2

Yes - it's very possible, in fact you almost had it! Try:

SELECT Field1, Field2, 'Value' AS `Field3` FROM Table

Answer 3

Many thanks. :)

Answer 4

Thanks a lot. This answer "SELECT Field1, Field2, 'Value' AS Field3 FROM Table" was helpful to me.
