Can I create a VIEW with duplicated columns?

I'm trying to get an exact replica out of a table. But there has to be a column that will be duplicated and renamed.

My SQL statement looks like this:

CREATE VIEW VIEWNAME AS SELECT ID, ID AS "ID2" FROM TABLENAME

Is it possible to do so?

Solution

  • In a word - yes, it is. As long as the resulting column names in the view aren't duplicated, there shouldn't be any problem.
