Hi:

Does PG support the notion of a colum alias?  I'm not talking about "select foo 
as fii....", I'm thinking more along the lines of supporting 2 different names 
for the same column.   For example, a tablle has a column named 
"social_security_number".  Queries may ask for this column as defined 
("social_security_number") but some may ask for is using "ssn".

Is there a way to assign 2 different names for the same column to support a 
situation like above?

I was thinking that a view might do this, but is not a direct table query.  
It's also not editable.

Thanks for any help !!!
