Rename Table¶

Grammar Description¶

In MatrixOne, the RENAME TABLE statement is used to change the name of the table. You can change the names of multiple tables at once.

Notes:

RENAME TABLE is an atomic operation. If any rename fails, all rename operations will be rolled back.
The table cannot be renamed across different databases. If you want to rename a table across a database, you can first copy the table to the target database and then delete the original table
Before renaming the table, make sure there are no active transactions or locks that are using the table.

Grammar Structure¶

> RENAME TABLE
    tbl_name TO new_tbl_name
    [, tbl_name2 TO new_tbl_name2] ...

Example¶

create table old_table1(n1 int);
create table old_table2(n1 int);
create table old_table3(n1 int);

RENAME TABLE old_table1 TO new_table1;
RENAME TABLE old_table2 TO new_table2,old_table3 TO new_table3;
