Renaming Fields

  • Artigo

You can rename existing table fields in two ways.

To rename a table field

  • In the Table Designer, enter a new field name in the Name box for the existing field.

  • Use the RENAME COLUMN clause of the ALTER TABLE command.

For example, to rename the column company in the customer table, you could issue the following command:

ALTER TABLE customer RENAME COLUMN company TO company_long_new_name

In the previous example, the new field name takes advantage of the ability to create long field names in database tables.
