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;

Answer 2

In MySQL :

RENAME TABLE template_function TO business_function;

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

In MySQL :-

RENAME TABLE `Stu Table` TO `Stu Table_10`

Answer 5

In Postgress SQL:

Alter table student rename to student_details;

Answer 6

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'
