Getting result of select query with tablename.

Hi all,
I have one select query which is fired on 2 tables each table contains
more than 20 columns.
So what i want is when i fire query in query analyzer i should get
column name along with table name.
Like say suppose i have field name in table say table1 so query
analyzer should display me result as table1.name..
Is it possible or do i need to include each field explicitly.
thanks in advance.You can use an alias, e.g.
SELECT
[table1.name] = t1.name,
[table2.price] = t2.price
FROM
table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2
ON
t1.primaryKey = t2.foreignKey;

I'm not sure what are you after? Do the columns repeate in the both tables
? I mean , 2 tables have the column called 'name'?

construct such a "table header", but there is no such support in either QA or SSMS (to the best of
my knowledge).

Use aliases in the field list of your select statement, you can have the
columns returned with whatever name you choose:
SELECT
table1.col1 AS [Table1.Column1],
table2.col1 AS [Table2.Column1]
FROM ...

thanks for your reply.
yes i have 2 tables with many column name repeated.
thanks in advance.|||> yes i have 2 tables with many column name repeated.
Do they contain the same data? If so, then why return both columns? If
not, then why do they have the same names?
A|||hi,
thanks for your reply.
they have same data for foreign key. But one column name is same that
is dateadded in both column. I want to distinguish dateadded of 2
tables.
Thanks|||Hi
You need to give alias as tablename.column name then necessarry joind
condition as usual for the select statement.
i.e.
select Table1.[id] 'Table1.[id]', Table1.col1 'Table1.col1',
Table1.col2 'Table1.col2', Table1.col3 'Table1.col2' from Table1
Let me know if you need more details on same
Thanks
