Bug When Using Table Aliases: `table alias "all_users" does not exist`

[AvicennaJr]

Version

1.25.0

What happened?

Sqlc encounters issues when attempting to recognize table aliases specified within the WHERE clause, particularly when filtering selections using the syntax alias_table.field = 'something'.

I've provided a simple example to replicate the issue

Relevant log output

sqlc generate failed.

# package 
query.sql:8:39: table alias "all_users" does not exist

Database schema

-- Create users table
CREATE TABLE users (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Create posts table
CREATE TABLE admins (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    email VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

SQL queries

-- name: GetAllUsers :many
WITH all_users AS (
    SELECT id, email FROM users
    UNION
    SELECT id, email FROM admins
)
SELECT id, email FROM all_users where all_users.email=$1;

Configuration

version: "2"
sql:
- schema: "./db/migrations/"
  queries: "./pkg/postgres/queries/"
  engine: "postgresql"
  gen:
    go: 
      package: "postgres"
      out: "./pkg/postgres/sqlc"

Same thing here: when i set my where condition to a constant it works, but when the condition is dynamic, i get error:

WHERE models.make_id = 47; this works WHERE models.make_id = @in_make_id; this on does not WHERE models.make_id = (sqlc.arg(in_make_id)); this one neither

I expect https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/pull/3220 to fix this

Hi everyone This error persist since 2022. Can someone ping the pull request https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/pull/3220 How one can possibly work without CTE or joins? Is SQLC only for primitive cases?

Please, pay attention to issues: https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/issues/2400 https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/issues/3169 https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/issues/1385

same issue here with sqlite this seems to work for me: WHERE models.make_id = cast(sqlc.arg(in_make_id) as integer);

@kyleconroy a vanilla use case in probably the most popular non-embedded database, postgres (and seemingly also the most popular embedded database, sqlite), is broken, with a bad error message to boot. Can we get a TTR for this bug, guidance on acceptable PRs, or anything at all?

+1 having this same issue, super annoying makes where clauses based on CTE's basically unusable
