Is there an easy way to rename a table in a MySQL procedure?
Yes, use the ALTER command with RENAME. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1859 ( Id int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1859 values(101); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1859 values(102); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1859;
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | Id | +------+ | 101 | | 102 | +------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to create a stored procedure and rename the table name −
mysql> delimiter // mysql> create procedure alter_table_name_sp() begin alter table DemoTable1859 rename exampleTable; end // Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql> delimiter ;
Call the stored procedure using call command −
mysql> call alter_table_name_sp(); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Check the table name has been changed or not using select command −
mysql> select * from exampleTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------+ | Id | +------+ | 101 | | 102 | +------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
