I want to create a bunch of views to return a data as an xml for playing with xsl-fo.
This is not a problem at all, I know how to create such view, but I have a problem in the SQL Server Management Studio. To return the xml through view, I have to add an alias for the result column. However when I do that, I can’t preview the returned xml in additional window in the SSMS any more.

With alias I can’t do that:

I have a big xml in result, so I need the functionality to preview them. How can I do that?
