#Declaration
#Property Value
Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
String | null | A String value, specifying the data table alias. |
#Remarks
Instead of addressing a table by its Table.Name, you can assign it an Alias. The alias is used to refer to a table in calculations and summary values within the SELECT statement of a SQL string. By using aliases, it is possible to identify data tables that have similar names.
To learn whether or not a table has been assigned an alias, use the Table.HasAlias property.
The Table.ActualName property returns the current identifier of a data table (its name or alias).
