Why do we need to create an alias if we can directly use
the table name? What are the benefits of referring a table
name by its alias?
Also, when should we go for alias and when for synonyms?
Answer / siva
let us consider we have a database with no of tables and one table name is ComputerScienceAndEngineering_Departement
if any one want to access this table they should use full name
ex: select * from ComputerScienceAndEngineering_Departement ;
it may be difficult to someone and sometimes to us also .
so if we creating alias like csedept then it will become simple to access it.
An alias is simply an alternate name for a table or view. Like tables and views, an alias can be created, dropped, and have comments associated with it.

Hi i need to write a query on the following requirement. SELECT COMM_TEXT INTO :WS_MIKM_COMM_TEXT FROM MPIPROD.MIKMV01 WHERE ACCOUNT_NO = :WFD_ACCOUNT_NO AND (SUBSTR(COMM_TEXT,1,39) = :WS_COMMENT_TEXT AND SUBSTR(COMM_TEXT,47,14) = :WS_DENY_DESC) OR (SUBSTR(COMM_TEXT,1,39) = :WS_COMMENT_TEXT) The above query is to be modified. The requirement is if both the fields are equal then that has to be given priority. In the above query if it satisfies any one it comes out without checking if both being equal is possible.
