Rename column in SQL Server

Question

I tried the following code. Although I don\'t get any errors, it did not do it.

SELECT * FROM Categories EXEC sp_rename \'Active\', CategoriesActive

Answer 1

FOR MSSQL :

EXEC sp_rename 'TABLENAME.OLD_COLUMNNAME', 'NEW_COLUMNAME', 'COLUMN';

FOR MYSQL : Use ALTER TABLE to do this

ALTER TABLE tbl_name CHANGE [COLUMN] old_col_name new_col_name

You can rename a column using a CHANGE old_col_name new_col_name column_definition clause. To do so, specify the old and new column names and the definition that the column currently has. For example, to rename an INTEGER column from a to b, you can do this:

ALTER TABLE t1 CHANGE a b INTEGER;
