'Set a global alias for a table and a column?
I'm working with a huge Firebird database where tables have completely unreadable names like WTF$RANDOM_ABBREVIATION_6792 or RPG$RANDOM_ABBREVIATION_5462 where columns have names like "rid9312", "1NUM5", "2NUM4", "RNAME8".
I need to set them global aliases to be able to use them as a full-length table names like Document and column names like
Document.CreationDate instead of xecblob.DDATE4
or
TempDoc.MovingOrderID instead of TMP$LINKED_DOC_6101.DID6101
Altering the database, or a table, or a column might be a big problem because the records might be counted by millions and tens of millions, and more over that, a major part of the Delphi-written front-end for the database is bound to the table names and column names.
Is there a way to do that somehow?
