Alias name

     A column alias name is an alternative name given to the column in a select statement.It is used to rename a column heading in select statement and it allows the user to understand the output easily.

Syntax:
    Select column_name AS "Alias Name" from table_name ;

   The keyword AS used between the column name and alias name is optional.we can give the blank space instead of AS keyword.Requires double quotation marks if it contains spaces or special characters or if it is case sensitive.

Example :
