All,
  Trying to ...

select
  col1
 ,col2 "I have a very long column name here"
from tab;

... and I'm getting ORA-00972.  The query is passed
into a reporting subsystem which outputs to Excel and
automagically emails the report to a vendor.  They
really want the long name.  I think I already know the
answer, but does anyone know of a way to
force/fake/beat into submission the Oracle parser?

Thanks,
Jon Knight
