Description:
select count(id) as total from products

returns a column named ".total" in the result set instead of just "total" like it should.  I don't know where the leading dot is coming from but is has broken our application completely.

This only appears to happen via the myODBC driver.

How to repeat:
as above.  

Suggested fix:
Presumably this will need a setting to indicate preferred behaviour since some people likely have code dependant on both ways of reporting column names now.
