Answer 1

Two solutions are described in the following link: Column alias based on variable

First solution:

1. Set the alias in a variable
2. Define the query as a nvarchar containing a reference to the variable.

3. Execute the query using sp_executesql

   SET @column_alias = 'new_title'
   SET @sql = 'SELECT keycol, datacol AS ' + @column_alias + ' FROM Foo'
   
   EXEC sp_executesql @sql
   

Second solution: Rename the column after the execution of the query

    INSERT INTO Results
    SELECT keycol, datacol
    FROM Foo

    EXEC sp_rename 'Results.datacol', @column_alias, 'COLUMN'
