SQL Wildcard While this is comprehensible, we can envision cases where the column heading can be complicated (especially if it involve
SQL LIKE arithmetic operations). Using a column alias would greatly make the output much more readable.
SQL ORDER BY
SQL GROUP BY The second type of alias is the table alias. This is accomplished by putting an alias directly after the table name in the
