How to alias a table in Laravel Eloquent queries using Query Builder

0 votes

Lets say we are using Laravel's query builder:

$users = DB::table('really_long_table_name')
           ->select('really_long_table_name.id')
           ->get();

I'm looking for an equivalent to this SQL:

really_long_table_name AS short_name

How to do that?

Hello @kartik,

You can use less code, writing this:

    $users = DB::table('really_long_table_name')
       ->get(array('really_long_table_name.field_very_long_name as short_name'));

And of course, if you want to select more fields, just write a "," and add more:

 $users = DB::table('really_long_table_name')
       ->get(array('really_long_table_name.field_very_long_name as short_name', 'really_long_table_name.another_field as other', 'and_another'));

This is very practical when you use a joins complex query

Hope it helps you!!
