Changes
Adds documentation for the SQL expression aliasing technique in breakdown configurations. Users can add
AS column_nameor-- column_nameto the end of their SQL expressions to create readable labels in charts and tables, rather than showing raw SQL expressions.This documents functionality that was already available but not previously documented. PR PostHog/posthog#55405 adds an in-product hint surfacing this tip, and this docs update ensures the information is also available in the documentation.
