All,

I'd like to be able to create column aliases which are bound to the
database itself. I have an assortment of columns without naming
standards which i'd like to migrate to a better naming scheme.

Is there a feature in MySQL that would allow me to give a database
column multiple names? I'm thinking that for SELECT * statements, you
would use the default column name, but for insert, delete, update, etc,
it would be fine to use the aliased name or default.

Doing this would *really* help to allow me to migrate the database to
the new naming convention without breaking existing code. I would then
be able to refactor at a more leisurely pace.

Does the feature exist, or can it be created?
