Description
Postgres (with default setting) limits the length of an identifier to 63 characters (to be precise it ignores anything beyond 63 characters). Given that we generate readable aliases for queries (which could potentially exceed 63 characters because of nesting) since alpha23 sometimes this results in a postgres query error.

Solution and Design
A new
Rewritemodule traverses the generated SQL AST and prefixes each alias with an integer. Even if Postgres ignores anything beyond 63 characters, the uniqueness of the alias is guaranteed by the prefixed integer.Type
