<h1 class="topictitle1">Use the LABEL ON statement</h1>
|
||
<div><div class="section">Normally, the column name is used as the column heading when showing
|
||
the output of a SELECT statement in interactive SQL. By using the LABEL ON
|
||
statement, you can create a more descriptive label for the column name. Because
|
||
you run your examples in interactive SQL, you use the LABEL ON statement to
|
||
change the column headings. Even though the column names were descriptive,
|
||
it is easier to read if the column headings show each part of the name on
|
||
a single line. It also allows you to see more columns of data on a single
|
||
display.<p>To change the labels for your columns, follow these steps:</p>
|
||
</div>
|
||
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Enter <kbd class="userinput">LABEL ON COLUMN</kbd> on the Enter SQL Statements
