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 Posted / 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.
