How to alias a table in Laravel Eloquent queries (or using Query Builder)?

Question

Lets say we are using Laravel\'s query builder:

$users = DB::table(\'really_long_table_name\')
           ->select(\'really_long_table_name.id\')
                 


        

Answer 1

To use in Eloquent. Add on top of your model

protected $table = 'table_name as alias'

//table_name should be exact as in your database

..then use in your query like

ModelName::query()->select(alias.id, alias.name)
