I think either one meets the standard. The "as" should be completely
optional.

I'm about 99% sure that aliases like this (Oracle
or SQLServer version):

select a.someid, b.somevalue
from tableA a, tableB b
where ...

are ANSI standard.  On the other hand, those like
this (Access version):

select a.someid b.somevalue
from tableA as a, tableB as b
where ...

are not.

I took a (very) quick look at the ANSI site
(www.ansi.org), but wasn't able confirm this.

Is this what you were asking or did I totally
miss the point?

Does anyone know if table aliases are ANSI 92 compliant?
