Description:

Select 'a' , * from tablename;   
gives a syntax error
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '* from aa' at line 1

However, 
Select 'a' , tablename.* from tablename;  
and
Select * , 'a' from tablename;  
works fine.

How to repeat:
Select 'a' , * from tablename;

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
