Hi,

Alias is not mean that you have permanently alias it will work on run time for a particular query execution.

If you need to access it with some other name then you can make view or synoname.

Solution 2

It does not work like this. Aliases are for the same query and does not transfer the affect on other queries. Even if it is in an SP, aliases are for one single query. What you have above are two separate queries.

Read more about it here: MSDN: Using Table Aliases[^]
