Alias Property

Gets or sets the alias used for this table view in the SQL statement generated for fetching rows into the composite table.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Property Alias As System.String

public override System.string Alias {get; set;}

Remarks

The default value is empty string.

Generated SQL statement must use aliases for constituent simple tables, because a table can occur more than once in a composite table diagram, so its name may be not unique in the statement, in which case it needs aliasing. By default, view table names are used as aliases, but if you want to change the default alias, you can set it.

This is rarely needed, this property is supported only for completeness, since all other names in the generated SQL statement can be controlled by developers using DbTableName and DbTableField.DbFieldName.
