i learning sql server 2008 r2 , have created db, naming convention flawed.
- how can change spaces underscores tables , fields without losing data.
- must stored procedure or there better alternative?
any in creating 'code' appreciated!
here expansion on accurate answer provided @sonam. keep in mind references tables broken after renaming.
declare @oldtablename sysname declare @newtablename sysname declare tablecursor cursor fast_forward select name sys.tables name '% %' order name open tablecursor fetch next tablecursor @oldtablename while @@fetch_status = 0 begin set @newtablename = replace(@oldtablename, ' ', '_') print 'renaming table:' print ' old: ' + @oldtablename print ' new: ' + @newtablename exec sp_rename @oldtablename, @newtablename fetch next tablecursor @oldtablename end close tablecursor deallocate tablecursor
