Anonymous interesting, not sure. Can you create a view in the SQL and rename the column to something different and see if it works. Atleast that will give the clarification.

      Hi Anonymous !

      It seems someone has renamed the column name which breaks your query since it might be using (select * from view) format to refer the view.

       

      When you deleted the query & re-created it, it works fine because of the schema refresh.
