     # Add any additional SELECTs passed in via kwargs.
     if kwargs.get('select'):
-        select.extend(['(%s) AS %s' % (s[1], s[0]) for s in kwargs['select']])
+        select.extend(['(%s) AS %s' % (db.db.quote_name(s[1]), db.db.quote_name(s[0])) for s in kwargs['select']])

If you have:
select={

'choice_count': 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM choices WHERE poll_id = polls.id'

}

as described in the tutorial then you will get:
select somecol, ("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM choices WHERE poll_id = polls.id") as "choice_count") from ...
versus
select somecol, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM choices WHERE poll_id = polls.id) as "choice_count") from ...
as it should be.

Simply reverting this one line back works but not sure why it was changed in the first place.

apparently this was merged from trunk and not new-admin as I thought.

The issue here is that some things passed to this keyword should be quoted and others shouldn't . So maybe this needs to be split into two kwargs, select and select_raw.

Or we just check wether the to-be-quoted element contains any spaces - if it contains whitespace, it can't be a simple column name and doesn't need quoting. if it does not contain whitespace, it can be quoted without problems.

(this diff is against new_admin, but in trunk it should look mostly the same)

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [1274]) Fixed #815 -- 'select' keyword in DB API calls is now quoted correctly. Thanks, Hugo
