AW: SQL CREATE TABLE command - ALIAS

["Hauser, Birgitta" <Birgitta.Hauser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe,

you can specify the short field name in the create table statement as
follows:

Create Table MySchema.Dummy
       (Description for ShortDescr VarChar(50))

In RPG you can use the field ShortDescr in SQL you can use both
Description or ShortDescr.

Betreff: SQL CREATE TABLE command - ALIAS

On a create table command, can I specify both the short and long names
for a field, such that RPG will see the short name but SQL will see the
longer name?

Say I want to create a table named DUMMY with one field, DESCRIPTION.
If I just do "CREATE TABLE DUMMY (DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(50))" I end up
with a field named DESCR00001 with an alternate name of DESCRIPTION.
I'd like to be able to also supply my own short name of DESC for the
field.

Joe
