  One question, I am confused on this...

  select ID, name name from person

  select ID ID, name name from person

  Both these statements dont give any error message and run successfully...

  wht is it so?

  Hi kapil,

  1st statement :-

  it's showing that you are giving the alias column name to column 2(name). I can also right this like:-

  select ID, name as [name] from person

  or

  select ID, name as [Column_2] from person

  2nd Statement :-same thing happen in 2nd statement.

  Check below statement. have fun

  select '--------------------' as TT

  select 233 as '____________'

  Thanks

  Vinay

  Thanks

  Easy question.

  It shows once again, the more options/possibilities, the more errors can be made.
