SQL Syntax Help

When you import tables from Excel and need to do a field name change you use an "as" function: for example

Division as "User Division"

What would the syntax be for changing field names from salesforce.come tables?

Please help!!

Thanx

Why don't you use preceding loads to do this alias change?

Like:

Load
A as Ca,
B as Cb
;
Load * From ...salesforce...;

Igor,

Thank you, but when I use the "as" to do an alias I get scripting errors. Is there another way?

Thanx

Some databases (like Oracle) doesn't accept AS

Just do

Select

Name1 Firstname,

Name2 Lastname

FROM

customer

Any experience with salesforce.com tables?

Igor, Please note that the scripting error occurs when I make the two changes in the user table....I am trying to change "State to UserState and Division to User Division.

If u rename a field to have a space in it, u need to put brackets around it.

SELECT

Division [User division]

FROM

....

I recommend that u try to avoid spaces in fieldnames, try

SELECT

Division Userdivision

Or

SELECT



Division User_division

Instead

I am having the same issue.  I am trying to simply rename columns in my Qlikview script that are coming from my Salesforce.com instance.

However, when I try to run the usual "as" renaming in Qlikview, I get an error message.  The below script does NOT work for me (since the data comes from Salesforce).  Normally, this would pull data fine. as

----------------------------------------

SQL SELECT

          Id,

    DGA_Account_Number__c as [Customer_Number]

FROM Account;

I get this error message:

    DGA_Account_Number__c as Customer_Number FROM Account

                         ^

ERROR at Row:3:Column:26

unexpected token: 'as'

SQL SELECT

          Id,

    DGA_Account_Number__c as [Customer_Number]

FROM Account

------------------------------------

Any advice/guidance would help.
