Auto alias suggestion

✓ functional

Keep joins readable with table-name aliases that stay consistent from the first column to the last.

When a table joins a FROM or JOIN clause, SQLly can offer a short, readable alias based on its name. It then uses that alias consistently when it qualifies columns, so the query stays easy to follow.

Why it helps

  • Stable. The same table receives the same alias throughout a session, which keeps queries familiar.
  • Readable. Aliases come from the table name, not a parade of t1/t2 labels.
  • Part of completion. Once an alias exists, column completion uses it automatically, so c. offers Customer's columns.
