Rename Table After Loading Data Into Temp Table
Dec 19, 2007WE 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.
Any ideas on a process that might help?
TIA,

How To Rename A Table ?
Nov 29, 2006Hi all.
I'm porting an application from eVB-ADOCE to VB.Net-SQL CE
In the old application there are some SQL statements like this:
"ALTER TABLE OldTable TO NewTable"
Is there an equivalent instruction or a simple way to rename a table?
I was not able to find anything simple to do the same.
I really need NOT to do something like
SELECT * INTO NewTable FROM OldTable
because the resulting table could go outside memory and/or spend too much time in elaboration.
Please let me know what I can do.
Many thanks !

Long Query Rollback - Can I Rename The Table?
Mar 8, 2007I 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

SQL Server 2000 Table Rename Impact On Stored Procs
Oct 12, 2004SQL Server 2000:
Question 1
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?
Thanks!
SQL Server 2008 :: When Renaming A Table / It Doesn't Rename Foreign Key Constraints
Sep 21, 2015I'm working on creating a new version of an existing table. I want to keep the old table around, only with a different name. In looking this up I found there's a system routine named sp_rename, which looks like it will work fine.However in thinking about this I realized that the foreign key constraints defined on the table (there's 3 of them) are likely to not be renamed, correct?
If I'm correct, then I suppose I could rename the table, then drop the 3 foreign key constraints, and create them new using different names for those foreign key constraints.

Help With TSQL Statement To Check For Table Size
Jun 19, 2002I have to deal with an environment where the developers create and modify tables at will, and the tool they use does not check if the table created is over the 8060 limit for a table. I have a sql statement below which checks the size for me, but I can't figure out how to put a where clause on it to check for the size being over 8060. I i have over 1000 tables to check and was going to write a cursor routine to check it and print it, but I need te where clause to work.Any help appreciated
select Name=left(c.name,20),
c.prec, scale = ISNULL(c.scale,0),
t.name from syscolumns c inner join systypes
t on c.xtype = t.xtype where id in
(select id from sysobjects where name = 'mh_demographic2_')
order by c.colid COMPUTE sum(c.prec)
