Re: -- table name prefix in result set after join --

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It really depends on the DBMS you are using, but you can use aliases as
a trick to solve this problem:

select a.col1 as a_col1, b.col1 as b_col1 from a join b on a.id=b.id

This will return the two columns a_col1 and b_col1

Cheers,


Marco
