    Why would there be an age and my_age column on the table GIRLS?

      Good point.

      Should be age > (@my_age / 2) +7

      FTFOP - now my age is some value defined outside the immediate query.

      More likely, the GIRLS would be a view of some table persons and you could query my_age from that table too.

        Thank you. I assumed the reader would be educated enough to guess I meant a variable. But yeah, should used @my_age

        Ah, but if we care at all about normalization and that’s calculatable from the other columns (it should be) then it shouldn’t be a column. Unless it’s expensive and this is a view, of course.
