将列名称添加到SQL Server中的现有表

Question

I want to add a column name for my table

create table flowers
(
     flowerName varchar (22) not null, primary key
)

Instead of the result being:

flowerName
----------
tulip

I want the result to be:

The Name of the flower is:
--------------------------
tulip

Answer 1

It looks like all you want to do is alias the column. This is easily handled by the following:

select flowerName AS [The Name of the flower is:] from flowers

Answer 2

You can't do that on table creation, but you can do it on select in SQL, or change it in output in the language that you're using to connect.

If you want to do it in SQL, it would be something like:
SELECT flowerName as 'The Name of the flower is' FROM flowers

Answer 3

This should be it.

create table flowers
(
     [The Name of the flower is:] varchar (22) not null primary key
)

If you want to alter the table name:

ALTER TABLE flowers
RENAME COLUMN "flowerName" TO "The Name of the flower is:"

Alternatively if you're adventurous (and don't want to change the original table structure) you can make a view:

CREATE VIEW vwFlowers AS
SELECT flowerName AS [The Name of the flower is:]
  FROM flowers

Then you can: SELECT * FROM vwFlowers
