Rename column SQL Server 2008
Posted By: Anonymous
I am using SQL Server 2008 and Navicat. I need to rename a column in a table using SQL.
ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME COLUMN old_name to new_name;
This statement doesn’t work.
Solution
Use sp_rename
EXEC sp_RENAME 'TableName.OldColumnName' , 'NewColumnName', 'COLUMN'
See: SQL SERVER – How to Rename a Column Name or Table Name
Documentation: sp_rename (Transact-SQL)
For your case it would be:
EXEC sp_RENAME 'table_name.old_name', 'new_name', 'COLUMN'
Remember to use single quotes to enclose your values.
