Use of AS Keyword in SQL

AS Keyword In SQL

In SQL when we assign the ALIAS to any column or table then we use AS keyword. although we assign the ALIAS with out AS keyword but using As keyword is a explicit way. AS keyword place before the ALIAS Name and after the Column or table name.

For example

SELECT customer_name, SUM(payment) AS "Total" FROM payments

GROUP BY customer-name ;

In this statement Total is ALIAS which is declare with AS Keyword.

we cal also use AS keyword when we assign tha ALIAS to Table:

SELECT A.Name , SUM(A1.Fee) AS "Total Sales"

FROM Student AS A

GROUP BY A.Name ;

In Above statement first AS is used to declare column ALIAS and Second AS is used for assign the ALIAS to Table.
