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 !!!
