I'm trying to execute a SELECT statement that includes a column of a static string value. I've done this in Access, but never with raw SQL. Is this possible?
Example:
Name | Status ------+-------- John | Unpaid Terry | Unpaid Joe | Unpaid In the above example, the "Status" column doesn't exist in the database.

To exclude columns, you use the REPLACE() and GROUP_CONCAT() functions to generate the column names you wish to include in your SELECT statement later. You can use the result to create your SELECT statement: SELECT address,age,email,id,name,phone FROM Students; And that's how you use the information_schema.
The direct answer is that you can't. You must select either an aggregate or something that you are grouping by.
Static values can be inserted into a resultset returned from a SELECT query as another column. Simply use the static value as a column to select, and the query will return a column where the name of the column is the static value, and every row in that column will return that same static value.
You may want to use:
SELECT Name, 'Unpaid' AS Status FROM table; The SELECT clause syntax, as defined in MSDN: SELECT Clause (Transact-SQL), is as follows:
SELECT [ ALL | DISTINCT ] [ TOP ( expression ) [ PERCENT ] [ WITH TIES ] ] <select_list> Where the expression can be a constant, function, any combination of column names, constants, and functions connected by an operator or operators, or a subquery.
