Oracle does support table and column aliasing using the 'AS' keyword. I'm
pretty sure this is part of the SQL-92 standard.

MS SQL Server 7.0 and above definitely do support the AS keyword, not sure
about oracle.
E.g.:-
SELECT MAX(cutomerID) AS MaxID FROM tblCustomer

Asim, I dont think Oracle or SQL Server support the "AS" keyword for
renaming column names. I think its specific to MS Access. I did a quick
search and found the below link but Im no expert on sql syntax. That would
be the first place Id look to check sql syntax. You can also try running the
insert statement outside your application to make sure that its not causing
the problem.
