So obviously variables should be able to have more than one name: a long one and a short one. SQL offers the ability to define an alias name.
Unfortunately that would be a kind of kitchen sink feature that no standards committee is likely to accept. As a substitute, one could create a variable with a long name, then put the value into another variable with a short name, but that could be confusing unless very clearly noted in a comment.
