Active Query Builder » User's Guide » Building a single query
To set an alias for an object or derived table in the query, you can right click at the object and select the Properties item from the context popup menu or you can double-click the object header. The Datasource Properties dialog will appear.
The Datasource Properties dialog may contain other server-specific datasource options, but the Alias property is the same for all database servers.
We have been using Active Query Builder for over a year and must say that both the product and support have been outstanding!
We chose Active Query Builder due to its flexibility and features, but have been truly pleased by its power and hidden capabilities. ...
In summary Active Query Builder provides excellent components, great support and a very flexible feature set. It has allowed us to provide features to our end users that I did not think would be possible in the first release of our new tools and in a timeframe that was much shorter than planned. I would recommend that anyone dealing with databases in the .Net world should be aware of this component and its capabilities!
