Be it running reports or displaying data in some other
visualization, SQL SELECT column expressions should
be meaningful and understandable. To provide those valuable query
results, SQL Developers, use a multitude of available functions,
adjacent columns, or other means not readily apparent to
end-users. All that being said, the column names often suffer the
most as far as readability is concerned, taking on long function
call names or other combined expressions. But, as luck would be
on our side, there is an easy fix and that is aliasing columns
using the AS keyword. Although AS is
optional – in this particular context – I err on the side of
readability and use it when aliasing SELECT column
expressions.
