Altering Alias Properties

Use the Alter Alias window to add, change, or delete a comment on an alias for a table, view, or alias.

Important: You cannot change the alias itself. To change the alias, you must create a new one and use it in place of the old one. If you no longer use the old alias, you can drop it.
