Advertisements

When you run a SELECT query on an Oracle database instance, it usually returns the results with column names in Uppercase. In some instances you might need to get the column names in lowercase or camel case. How would you do it? Read on.

EXAMPLE

Query:

SELECT * FROM contacts WHERE last_name = 'Kumar'

Result:

ID	FIRST_NAME	LAST_NAME	PHONE_NUMBER
345	Anand		Kumar		8967537252
123	Naveen		Baby		7658908333
674	Arthi		Ranjith		7856341209
124	Rani 		Selvi		9994456345
76	Chandra		Ambi		9345678211

COLUMN NAMES IN LOWERCASE

To get the column names in lowercase you can use ‘as column_name’ in the SQL statement.

Query:

SELECT ID as "id", FIRST_NAME as "first_name", LAST_NAME as "last_name", PHONE_NUMBER as "phone_number" FROM contacts WHERE last_name = 'Kumar'

Result:

id	first_name	last_name	phone_number
345	Anand		Kumar		8967537252
123	Naveen		Baby		7658908333
674	Arthi		Ranjith		7856341209
124	Rani 		Selvi		9994456345
76	Chandra		Ambi		9345678211
