This page shows you how to use the RENAME
statement. The RENAME
statement is a DDL statement. It lets you rename tables, sequence, views, object.
You can use the RENAME
statement to change a table or view name. Databases support it because the table is truly linked to a numeric identifier in the catalog and its name is only an alias.
You RENAME
a table or view, like this:
RENAME chronograph TO watch; |
RENAME chronograph TO watch;
You rename a column with the ALTER
statement and MODIFY
subclause.
MySQL works like Oracle with this DDL command with one exception. Oracle assumes the first name belongs to a table. MySQL requires you to qualify that you’re renaming a table.
The RENAME
statement changes an old table or view name to new one. Databases support it because the table is truly linked to a numeric identifier in the catalog and its name is only an alias.
You RENAME
a table or view, like this:
RENAME TABLE chronograph TO watch; |
RENAME TABLE chronograph TO watch;
You rename a column with the ALTER
