How to set custom names for query columns ?

Answer 1

The simplest way:
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'dataProvider' => $model->search(), //$model = new SomeForm()
'columns' => array(
'id::ID',
'name::NAME'
),
));
Another way:
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
'dataProvider' => $model->search(), //$model = new SomeForm()
'columns' => array(
array(
'header' => 'ID',
'name' => 'id'
),
array(
'header' => 'NAME',
'name' => 'name',
),
),
));

Answer 2

If you don't want to use custom names; if you want to use your labels declared in your model, then you can do this:
Create an empty instance of your model and pass it to your view. The view will thus utilize the $data (CSqlDataProvider) as well as the empty model.
$labelModel = new my_model;
$this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView',array(
'dataProvider'=>$my_model->search(), //returns a CSqlDataProvider
'itemView'=> '_view',
'viewData' => array('labelModel' => $labelModel),
));
Use the empty model - together with getAttributeLabel - to echo labels.
Use $data['field_name'] to echo the data.
