Alias for tables/columns?

Hi,

   I'm migrating a system from php/mysql to django/postgresql. I'd like to
   change the names of columns and tables but I need to retain the old ones
   for compatibility issues (it must still work with the old interface).

   Is there any possibility to call a table or a column with different names
   -sort of a symbolic link?

   Thanks in advance
