What is a column alias?

September 15th, 2007 by uCertify Leave a reply »

A column alias is a temporary name assigned to a column within a SQL statement. It is defined next to the column name using space or the AS keyword as a separator. By default, a column alias appears in uppercase. A column alias must be enclosed within double quotes if its case is to be preserved or it contains spaces or special characters such as $, #, etc.

A column alias cannot be used in the WHERE and GROUP BY clauses of a SELECT statement.
