Table Alias'ing

[Penney, John]

Greetings Listers:
   
  I am under the impression/assumption that under the following conditions a second attach is made to the database: Powerhouse 7.10e DEC SQL V6.1-13:
   
  Example #1:
   
  FILE OBLIGATION ALIAS OB
   
  I assert that it's (almost) the same as:
   
  Example #2:
   
  FILE OBLIGATION DESIGNER
   
  FILE OBLIGATION designer alias obl
   
  where you must have two separate attaches.
   
  Can anyone please clear up any misapprehension? A colleague here says that the first is only a 'pointer' (his term) situation and no second attach happens.
   
  TIA
   
  JP
