If a derived column list is included for a SQL derived table, it follows the name of the SQL derived table and is enclosed in parentheses, as in the following example:
select dt_b.book_title, dt_b.tot_sales from (select title, total_sales from titles) dt_b (book_title, tot_sales) where dt_b.book_title like "%Computer%"
Here the column names title and total_sales in the derived table expression are respectively renamed to book_title and tot_sales using the derived column list. The book_title and tot_sales column names are used in the rest of the query.
SQL derived tables cannot have unnamed columns.
