Re: Another SQL question: This time with VIEWs

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Add double quotes

CREATE VIEW FOO/BAZ AS
SELECT . . . U01005 AS "Highest_Credit", . . . FROM FOO/BAR WHERE
CENSOR(U01430, U01429) = 'P'

***BEWARE***
To read from such a view, you'll need the quotes an the exact case match...

select "Highest_Credit"
from foo/baz
--works

select highest_credit
from foo/baz
--fails

select "highest_credit"
from foo/baz
--fails
