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

Same as AMIB answer, for soft delete error "Unknown column 'table_alias.deleted_at'", just add ->withTrashed() then handle it yourself like ->whereRaw('items_alias.deleted_at IS NULL')
