Question

I’m a beginner with sqlite coming from mysql.
maybe my question is dumb but I can’t find the equivalent of the “AS” in mysql for example.

Example: "SELECT firstName || ' ' || lastName AS fullName FROM myTable;"

Is it possible?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

SQLite also supports using AS, as shown in this diagram from the page Syntax Diagrams for SQLite:

result-column:

Why do I want to use a “AS”?

Because it allows you to give a descriptive name to each column in your result set. You can use this name to refer to the column when you read the results.
