## Which issue does this PR close? Closes #17469 ## Rationale for this change Fixes confusing behavior where calling a function by an alias (e.g., `date_format`) would display the underlying function's name (e.g., `to_char`) in the output column. This change makes the output column name match the alias used in the query, improving user experience. ## What changes are included in this PR? The SQL planner (`function.rs`) is modified to create a general solution that works for any function alias. When an alias is found, it now constructs a verbose name including the alias and its arguments (e.g., `date_format(col1, col2)`) and uses that as the output column name. This change applies to both scalar and aggregate functions. ## Are these changes tested? Yes. The example test for `date_format` was updated to assert the new, correct output. The generality of the fix was also confirmed with the `substr` alias. ## Are there any user-facing changes? Yes. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
