How can I in change the table name using a query statement?
I used the following syntax but I couldn't find the rename keyword in SQL server 2005.
Alter table Stu_Table rename to Stu_Table_10
Use sp_rename:
EXEC sp_rename 'Stu_Table', 'Stu_Table_10'
You can find documentation on this procedure on MSDN.
If you need to include a schema name, this can only be included in the first parameter (that is, this cannot be used to move a table from one schema to another). So, for example, this is valid:
EXEC sp_rename 'myschema.Stu_Table', 'Stu_Table_10'
In MySQL :-
RENAME TABLE `Stu Table` TO `Stu Table_10`
In Postgress SQL:
Alter table student rename to student_details;
Please use this on SQL Server 2005:
sp_rename old_table_name , new_table_name
it will give you:
Caution: Changing any part of an object name could break scripts and
stored procedures.
but your table name will be changed.
In MySQL :
RENAME TABLE template_function TO business_function;
ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME TO new_table_name;
works in MySQL as well.
Alternatively:
RENAME TABLE table_name TO new_table_name;
Syntex for latest MySQL versions has been changed.
So try RENAME command without SINGLE QUOTES in table names.
RENAME TABLE old_name_of_table TO new_name_of_table;
RENAME TABLE old_table_name TO new_table_name;
rename table name :
RENAME TABLE old_tableName TO new_tableName;
for example:
RENAME TABLE company_name TO company_master;
execute this command
sp_rename 'Employee','EData'

I’m having issues with syntax error in my queries, I’m trying to alter my table.
alter table people = person
Looking at your question I dind't know what you were trying to rename if it was your table name or the column name.
For SQL Server to rename your column you can do this:
sp_rename 'table_name.old_column_name', 'new_column_name', 'COLUMN';
With your code should look like this:
sp_rename 'table_name.people', 'person', 'COLUMN';
Otherwise if you're trying to rename your table it will be like this:
sp_rename 'old_table_name', 'new_table_name';
With your code should look like this:
sp_rename 'people', 'person'
If you're trying to alter something else please check this document[1].
For MySQL or Oracle you can try the next document[2].

I've a table Amount, having a column name amount_id which i want to change and update into account_id
I am using sp_rename function but i dont know how exactly i can change it
EXEC sp_rename 'Amount.Amount_id', 'Account_id', 'COLUMN';
This is the error given
Either the parameter #objname is ambiguous or the claimed #objtype (COLUMN) is wrong.
You are using the syntax to rename a table. For rename a column you need
EXEC sp_rename '<Schema>.<Table>.<Fieldname>, 'newfield', 'COLUMN';
There are few possible ways of doing this in MSSQL server.
Select the table abn list the columns by click on the + in the table columns. Then right click and rename the column name
Go to the design of the table and then rename the column/ datatype, add new column, etc.
Use sp_rename system stored procedure to rename the table column name. this can be used to change the table name as well.
sp_rename 'table.column_name', 'new_columnName', 'COLUMN';
sp_rename 'Accounts.Marker', 'Markers', 'COLUMN';
The syntax mentioned above should work in SQL Server. If you are using MySQL, the following syntax should work:
ALTER TABLE tableName CHANGE `oldcolname` `newcolname` datatype(length);
I have executed the following SQL-script to rename a table:
EXEC sp_rename 'dbo.OriginalTable', 'dbo.TableWithNewName'
I know now this is incorrect and that the value of the second parameter should be TableWithNewName.
But now I can't find either of those tables and don't know how to fix this.
Use this script
SELECT * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE '%Dbo.%' you will find the table which u renamed earlier. U can rename the table as it is previous
EXEC SP_RENAME '[dbo.TableWithNewName]','TableWithNewName'
I want to change my column name in sql server using a query, without using sp_rename command. Can you please tell me if anybody know it?
I tried as:
alter table table_name alter column 'column1' to 'column2'
and it gave an error message as:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near 'column1'.
It is not possible to rename a column using the ALTER TABLE statement in SQL Server. Reference.
Use sp_rename instead.
OR
You can right click on the table -> select rename -> type new name.
And example is here.
alter table table_name add column 'column2'
update table_name set column2 = column1
alter table table_name drop column column1
PSEUDOCODE, need data types, likely to turn off triggers, etc. Quite ugly, but does "get the job done".
NOT very good for large tables, of course...
In MySQL it is possible to do show create table tablename
What is the SQL Server equivalent?
In SSMS, right-click on the table node and "Script Table As" / "Create".
There is no built in 'script this table' T-SQL.
sp_help 'tablename' gives useful table information if that'd do.
One that might be close:
exec sp_columns YourTableName
if multiple database and schema exists in SQL_Dataserver,
Then you need to provide the exact table location with sp_help within single quotes.
exec sp_help 'database_name.schema_name.table_name'
