SQL allows you to assign an alias name to a column or a table.
Syntax
SELECT column_name AS alias_name
FROM table_name
SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name
AS alias_name
Examples
Assign the alias of "Customer Name" to the column "custName.
SELECT custName AS [Customer Name]
FROM Customers
Assign the alias of "C" to the table called "tbl_Customers". This allows you to reference the table as "C" instead of the longer, original name.
SELECT *
FROM tbl_Customers AS C
