I had backup using select * into table tablename_bak from tablename

after that i rename table using your script

sp_RENAME ‘tablename’, ‘Ttablename_old’
GO

sp_RENAME ‘tablename_bak’, ‘Ttablename’
GO

when I open from web application the page is white blank,
I i rename back to original

sp_RENAME ‘tablename’, ‘Ttablename_bak’
GO

sp_RENAME ‘tablename_old’, ‘Ttablename’
GO

The page displayed data correctly,

please advice how this can happen.

thanks before.
Liliek

I used sp_rename like a charm, and it works great. Thanks.

Which one is faster? Truncating a table and doing a fresh insert of nearly 2million rows OR inserting the 2million into a new table, delete the original table and rename the new table to the original table.
Oh den do an incremental population of the fulltext index afterwards.

How can we fetch 1000 rows from table?

I used this but how can I used in store procedure.

Select from
ORDER BY DESC
FETCH FIRST 1000 ROWS ONLY

Could you please help me with the following?
I’m trying to rename all the column names of my date dimension, from lower case to Title case. There’re around 110 columns, and I don’t want to manually rename them.
Could you please offer the code to do this?

Thanks in advance!
