I saw this response on StackOverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12709814/column-aliasing-in-select-statements-doesnt-work-with-squirrel-sql-firebird

Seems that it became quite popular


https://sourceforge.net/projects/squirrel-sql/files/stats/timeline?dates=2001-01-01+to+2012-10-20

And it the top picks for sourceforge Top Growth Projects
