Description Dimitrios T Tanis 2011-07-15 23:51:53 UTC 
Version:           2.4 alpha2 (Calligra 2.4 alpha2) (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

When designing a query, you cannot add a table two times.
That could be very useful, infact needed when dealing with tables that have self lookups (a classic example would be employees and the employee they report to).

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Open query designer. Pick a table, click insert.
Pick the same table again. Click insert.

Actual Results:  
The same table cannot be inserted twice.

Expected Results:  
There should not problem adding many instances of tables.

Should be supported indeed. It is supported in the SQL view: e.g. [SELECT * FROM TABLE1 AS T, TABLE1 AS S WHERE ...] works, and we support this by allowing aliases in our parser. Using the SQL view for such queries is the current workaround.
