Naming the tables returned from queries

Hello,
I was wondering if I could give names to the tables that are returned in the MYSQL result in order to access them with .NET through their name.

For example the table that returns the states of America must call States:

SQL

Select * from states

name of the result table should call “States”

And I could access the tables in the query’s result like that:

C#

dataSet.Tables["States"];

Are you saying that you have to use states instead of States?

Then just use keyword AS.

Not clear. If you know from which table you want to get data, where is a problem?

Have you seen this question and onetwitch answer?

Important: There is no direct way to provide datatable name straight from stored procedure or sql query.

I think OP wants to get the name of table from sql query command and to create a dataset/datatable object with the "name" which is equal to the "name of table".
