Alias to column names?

Couldn’t you just ‘AS’ your column names in your select statements?  Then you’d only have to maintain the sql.

I doubt it, I don't think you can do that.

Subject: Alias to column names?

Is there a way to give alias names to column names? I’d really like to define the column name aliases at the top of XML file, then use those alias names in parameter maps and inline result maps. It’s a real pain when database field name changes (or db migration) when I have to dig thru all the inlines and maps. This way, I can just change the alias section at the top. Can this be done?
