Creating an alias

To create a new alias, perform the following on the Db2® Object Functions panel:

  1. Type 5 in the Object Type entry field.
  2. Type C on the command line.
  3. Press Enter. FM/Db2 displays the Create Alias panel.

Use the Create Alias panel to create an alias for a table or a view at the correct location.

An alias is an alternative name for a table or view. The table or view need not exist when the alias is created. The table or view can exist at a different location to the local Db2® system.
