assume this was fixed but not closed ..close it,  change priority or in general take care of it.

With the new/current (antlr4) parser this query no longer fails silently with incorrect results in qserv; it fails explicitly, because the antlr4 parser/IR factory rejects it: we have not added IR-creation support for multiplication in select yet (as in SELECT (a*b)). 

I discussed this with Fritz Mueller in our team meeting, and I put a story point estimate on this issue, and changed the title & description to reflect the current work that needs to be done. We agreed this had been a critical bug because it was failing silently, returning incorrect results. Since now it fails explicitly and does not return results I changed the priority from critical to undefined. I changed it to a story: it's a feature we may need to support (needs to be prioritized & scheduled by Fritz), but was not part of the initial scope of work for the antlr4 parser conversion.

This is a special ticket in that it was mentioned as an old ticket in the very first DMCCB meeting and now, three years later, it as come up again at DMCCB as an old ticket...

Still relevant, and still low priority...

Maybe we'll talk again in 3 years...
