The <Column> element specifies a mapping from a column in a database table or an attribute in an LDAP result set to an IdPAttribute name. In most cases this is equivalent to aliasing a result column in a SQL statement, but may be clearer to look at, and in the case of LDAP it provides missing aliasing capability.

Notes
The result set processing expressed by the <Column> elements can instead be defined by specifying the mappingStrategyRef attribute on the
...
data connector. This allows for much more advanced result set processing, including the generation of non-string valued results.
