How To Name Query Output Columns in MS SQL Server?
Answer:
Each column in the query output has a default name. If you don't like the default name, you can specify a new name for any column in the query output by using the AS clause. The following statement shows you a good example:
SELECT tag AS Category, YEAR(created) AS Year,
COUNT(*) AS Counts FROM ggl_links
GROUP BY tag, YEAR(created) ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
GO
<pre>
Category Year Counts
