Answer / harsh v m

Sonia, clear your doubt here.

AS keyword is used for aliasing some existing column name
for our convenience.But the column name doesn't change @
database.

But incase of renaming a column the change is reflected @
database n it's usually done if we wish changing property
of a particular column.

sp_rename 'tablename.oldcolumnname','newcolumnname'->This
actually works out for Sql 2000.ALTER TABLE key doesn't
help.
