  SELECT GETDATE() as 'Current Datetime', 'A' 'B'

In PostgreSQL you have to use double quoted aliases:

PostgreSQL:

  -- Using double quotes for aliases "Current Datetime" and "B" for two columns
  SELECT NOW() as "Current Datetime", 'A' "B"

Both SQL Server and PostgreSQL queries return the same result:
