      the alias name should be a valid identifier, no punctuation, no spaces,... :)

        Select S_no as [S. No.] From Emp;

        would work but as Luc said that its not best practice.

        As barmey as a sack of badgers Dude, if I knew what I was doing in life, I'd be rich, retired, dating a supermodel and laughing at the rest of you from the sidelines.

                  You're real problem is that you are putting UI information into the query, this type of formatting belongs in your user interface no the database Oh and this does work in sql server 2005/08

                  SELECT ship [S. No.] FROM Ship AS S

                  Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

                    Try adding quotation marks around the alias:

                    Select S_no AS "S. No." From Emp;

                    The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

                      In SQL query '.' can be used to get a column from a table... For eg : "Select Employee.EmpId from Employee" So Sql always expects a column name after a '.' , use some other characters as alias names. This would solve your problem

                        Use a valid identifier. Dot is not a valid identifier.
