The view approach for queries is workable, at least for queries.  Thanks for the input on that and the idea to replicate the various aliases in the view!

The key issue with all your approaches is whether the client can ever `UPDATE` the view. If they can, and you duplicate the column under multiple aliases, what happens when they `UPDATE` two of the aliases to different values?

I too would like to shoot the clients.  But as they say, the customer is always right !

Heh, I wouldn't shoot them. Fire the client means:
