The RENAME TABLE statement renames one or more ColumnStore tables.

Notes:

• You cannot currently use RENAME TABLE to move a table from one database to another.
• See the ALTER TABLE syntax for an alternate to RENAME table. The following statement renames the orders table:

RENAME TABLE orders TO customer_order;

The following statement renames both the orders table and customer table:

RENAME TABLE orders TO customer_orders,customer TO customers;

You may also use RENAME TABLE to swap tables. This example swaps the customer and vendor tables (assuming the temp_table does not already exist):

RENAME TABLE customer TO temp_table, vendor TO customer,temp_table to vendor;
