As

Defining a new structural element (table or column) by aliasing an existing value.

A common use for this is to create a shorthand reference to elements with long names to make the SQL statements shorter.



   <source lang="sql">

SELECT <columns> FROM <existing_table_name> AS <new_table_name></source>

Use As in table joins

Using aliases also has few other advantages including:

Avoiding any reserved (used by MySQL) words.

Allowing Multiple Joins to the same table

Allowing Self-Joins

Assigning the result of MySQL function to a temporary column name.
