Descrizione

Describe the bug Variable substitution fails for field names in the query projection or where clause. According to example in docs here, it should work.

To Reproduce Version: 6.2.1

ksql> define colName1 = 'LEVEL';
ksql> select ${colName1} from ksql_processing_log emit changes;
Illegal argument at Line: 1, Col: 8. Got: 'LEVEL'
Statement: select ${colName1} from ksql_processing_log emit changes;
ksql> define colName1 = 'LEVEL';
ksql> select * from ksql_processing_log where ${colName1} = 'ERROR';
Illegal argument at Line: 1, Col: 41. Got: 'LEVEL'
Statement: select * from ksql_processing_log where ${colName1} = 'ERROR';

Expected behavior Query succeeds, substituting variable (colName1) value for field name.

Actual behaviour See above for error details.

Additional context Initial feedback from @spena:

Seems the parser is detecting the ${colName1} from the where clause as a variable literal and not a variable identifier, so the parsing fails because level is not a string literal
