Believe it or not, the database doesn't support making aliases.  If
you're curious, the database is a horrible nightmare called
"ApogeeSQL" that was developed by the company that originally wrote
the application that I am rewriting.  ApogeeSQL has a barely first-gen
ODBC driver that is so flakey it isn't even funny...the SQL options
that are available to me when getting data out of this database are
severely limited.  To give you an idea, queries fail if I put a cr-lf
in them, you can't query on NULL objects (which isn't surprising,
since the DB has no concept of null values anyway).  Suffice it to
say, this is my hair shirt...but at least I'm being paid to wear it.
