I am using the compact edition on a desktop using VS2005 as well as SQL Server Management Studio. None of those tools allow me to rename a column or rename a table. Can someone point me a tool the runs on the desktop (as opposed to running on a CE device) that allows me to do the renaming?

WE have a job that loads data from an Oralce DB into our SQL Server 2000 DB twice a day. The schedule has just changed so that now there is a possibility of having my west coast users impacted when it runs at 5 PM PST and my east coast users impacted when it runs at 7 AM EST. As a workaround, I have developed a DTS package that loads the data into temp tables instead of the real tables. IE. Oracle -> XTable_temp instead of Oracle -> XTable. The load sometimes takes about an hour to an hour and a half to load, so this solution works great, but I want to then lock the table, delete it and rename the temp table to table X. The pseudo code would be:
Begin Transaction
Lock Table XTable
Drop XTable
Alter Table XTable_temp rename to XTable
Release Lock XTable
End Transaction
Create XTable_temp
I see two issues with this solution. 1) I think if I can lock XTable that the lock would be released when the table is dropped and the XTable_temp was being renamed. 2) I can't find a command to rename a table.
How to prevent a stored procedure or trigger from being invalidated after renaming a table. I used sp_rename but it does not alter the stored procs and triggers using the table ,is there any way to change all the dependent objects without manually generating the script and then changing it

I need to rename a replicated table columns.will this affect my current replication (Transactional replication)? Do i have to create a new snapshot and restart the subscriber?
I have a long query which I have set off and would like to stop, andrename one of the tables used.My query is due to my lack of understanding of the underlyingstructure of MSSQL-Server...So say and update updates TABLE_A and I stop it, whilst thistransaction is rolling back I attempt to rename TABLE_A to TABLE_A_OLDand rename a different table to become TABLE_A. I am assuming thatthe rollback actions will use the object reference of TABLE_A_OLD andcontinue to rollback the effects on the correct table and not corrupt'new' TABLE_A... or will it not allow me to rename TABLE_A until therollback is complete?Thanks for any help!Steve
I renamed a database table, and then try to create a view with that table. However, the renamed table does not appear in view designer. I have to close and re-open SQL Server Management studio 2014.
I'm trying to rename a table with date suffix at the end of the table name, and drop the date suffix table which is greater than 7 days. for that I have the below sql, I have not included the drop syntax in this.
I'm not able to rename with the date suffix in the below sql, syntax error at '+'
DECLARE @TPartitionDate date IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE Name = 'IIS_4') BEGIN SELECT @TPartitionDate = MAX(PartitionDate) FROM PartitionLog (NOLOCK) EXEC sp_rename 'IIS_4','IIS_4_'+ @TPartitionDate END
If you drop / rename a table and then recreate the table with the SAME NAME, what impact does it have on stored procedures that use these tables? From a system perspective, do you have to rebuild / recompile ALL the stored procedures that use this table?
I had a discussion with someone that said that this is a good idea, since the IDs of the tables change in sysobjects and from a SQL SERVER query plan perspective, this needs to be done...
Question 2
If you Truncate a Table as part of a BEGIN TRANSACTION, what happens if an error occurs? Will it Rollback? The theory is that it won't because Truncate doesn't utilize the logs where as Delete From uses the SQL Logs?
