Yes, that works. But so do these.
SELECT watch_list_element.element_id as wle_element_id,
COUNT(watch_list_id) FROM watch_list JOIN watch_list_element ON watch_list.id =
watch_list_element.watch_list_id
WHERE watch_list.user_id = 1 GROUP BY watch_list_element.element_id
SELECT element_id as wle_element_id, COUNT(watch_list_id) FROM watch_list JOIN watch_list_element ON watch_list.id
= watch_list_element.watch_list_id
WHERE watch_list.user_id = 1 GROUP BY element_id
The original situation which did not work is:
SELECT watch_list_element.element_id as wle_element_id,
COUNT(watch_list_id) FROM watch_list JOIN watch_list_element ON watch_list.id =
watch_list_element.watch_list_id
WHERE watch_list.user_id = 1 GROUP BY element_id
My question: why should it not work? It's referring to the same
column as the previous two examples which do work.
